TOMS RIVER, NJ โ The Township of Toms River paid tribute to local veterans who have been killed or are missing in action by unveiling commemorative banners in a recent council meeting.
Dr. Steven and Dorothy Glawson joined Mayor Hill for the unveiling ceremony. The Glawsons have a personal connection to the initiative; Stevenโs brother, George Glawson, was killed in action in Vietnam in 1971.
Eight banners, each dedicated to a different hero, were installed this week on Washington Street, directly in front of Town Hall. The banners serve as a public acknowledgment of the sacrifices made by Toms River residents in service to the country.
The initiative aims to keep the memory of these heroes alive and to offer a visible token of appreciation and remembrance to the families affected. The township council committed to recognizing and honoring all veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice.
