This past weekend Evesham Township Deputy Mayor Heather Cooper and Evesham Councilwoman Dr. Krystal Hunter represented Evesham Township at Burlington County's annual Memorial Day Service at Veterans Memorial Park in Burlington Township.
The county’s annual ceremony takes place every year on May 30, which marks the date of the very first national Memorial Day in 1868. Then known as Decoration Day, it was established by Grand Army of the Republic Commander-in-Chief John A. Logan to honor Union soldiers who lost their lives in the American Civil War.
Deputy Mayor Cooper and Councilwoman Hunter joined officials in placing a wreath at the park’s memorial on behalf of our community.
May we always remember and honor the profound sacrifices made by those who gave their lives to protect our nation and preserve our freedoms.
