Remember |
|
As we remember 9-11, a day that will live forever
as one of the most tragic in America's young history, we think of the
lives lost, both on that fateful day and in the ten years since,
including those servicemen and women who continue to fight to preserve
our freedom. It is also important to remember the others who have
served our country both in times of war as well as peace. America is
the home of the free because of the brave.
The meeting begins at
7:30 and is free to Society members. All are welcome; a donation is
appreciated from non-members and guests.

its events, please call the museum at 908.852.8797 or email us @
