MEMORIAL DAY COMMEMORATION
11AM
@ Maysey Memorial
86 Main Street, Chester, NJ
Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day and was established in 1868 to honor those who died in service of the United States of America. The day is one of solemn remembrance.
In keeping with the original intent of Memorial Day, each year the Chester American Legion Post 342 and the Borough of Chester hold a special commemoration for those who gave their all for our country. In addition to speakers and music, the names of Chester residents who died as active service members are read. A 21 gun salute ends the commemoration.
The event is held on Main Street in Chester Borough at the Larry Maysey Memorial. Sergeant Maysey, a member of the US Air Force 3d Air Rescue and Recovery Group, was a native son of Chester who was posthumously awarded the Air Force Cross for his actions in rescuing fellow servicemen in Vietnam.
The commemoration begins at 11:00 am and all are welcome.
Thank you in advance to the Sons of the American Legion, American Legion Women’s Auxiliary, Chester Police, Chester Volunteer Fire Company, Chester First Aid Squad, local Boy & Girl Scout Troops of Chester, and the West Morris Community Band.
