About Us/History

AMERICAN VETERANS ASSOCIATION OF WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP (AVAWT)

The AVAWT,  Post 1776, consists of Veterans of Military Service, during war and peace, with a purpose of keeping the service and history of Veterans “alive”. The American Veterans Association of Washington Township (Morris County) ( http://www.wtmorris.org) regularly speaks to local student classes about their first hand experiences in the military from WWII to the present. The group is engaged in charitable contributions for needy residents and students, and are dedicated to uphold and support the quality of life of this wonderful place we call America. The group meets at the Long Valley Senior Center (34 East Springtown Road, Long Valley), at 10 am on the second Tuesday of each month.   (check the calendar on this site for any changes to meeting dates/times)

We accept requests for an Honor Guard for deceased veterans for wakes and funerals.   For more information please contact Thomas Holden at 908-303-7330 or 908-850-6153
