The Mount Holly Joint Veterans Memorial Committee organized a great ceremony at Veteran’s Park on High Street. As was originally envisioned by “Armastice Day”, which officially ended World War 1, the gathering was held on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Mount Holly government was represented by our Police Department, Fire Department, America Emergency Squad and Council Members. The Rancocas Valley High School Naval Jr. ROTC presented colors. Civic organizations included Knights of Columbus, General Federation of Women’s Clubs, Women’s League of Mount Holly, Daughters of American Revolution, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2692 and American Legion Post 11. The Burlington County Commissioners and the Burlington County Sheriff’s Department was also represented.
