Post 1776
On behalf of the members of post “1776” we want to thank the Washington Twp Police Department for hosting our monthly Post meeting at the police headquarters.
We appreciated the coffee, bagels and donuts that your staff provided. I know that you all are busy, but we were happy that several of your force, including yourself took the time to come into the conference room to greet us and thank us for our service on this Veterans Day.
On Veterans Day evening a few members of our post went to the Chesapeake Tavern in Long Valley. They offered free dinners to veterans. Those of us who attended had a great time and a wonderful meal.
On Monday, November 11 Posat 1776 had a Luncheon at Heath Village Retirement Community with Veterans living at Heath Village.
On Monday, November 11, 2019 (Veterans Day) Post 1776 participated in a Flag raising at Kossmann School followed by flag raising at Flocktown School with class discussions afterwards. Breakfast was served to the veterans at Kossmann School.
On Friday Nov 8, Post 1776 and other veterans gathered for the Washington Township’s Veterans brunch at the Valley Restaurant in Long Valley. We would like to thank Washington Twp and the Valley Restaurant for hosting this event. The veterans look forward to this event every year.
