April 6 marks the 100th anniversary
of this country’s entry into The Great War, as it was called at the time. Though
largely forgotten, New Jersey’s role in the war—before, during, and after
official U.S. participation—was both critical and fascinating. Events are
planned throughout the state to tell the story—including a major exhibit at the
Eden Woolley House.
Please join us at
6:30, July 29, on the grounds of the Eden Woolley House to raise the flag in
memory of the men and women who served in the First World War (1914-1918; for
U.S., 1917-1918). Call the Museum (732-531-2136) or visit oceanmuseum.org to add your ancestor or nominee to the list of
honored veterans.
The Woolley House will
be open on the evening of Saturday July, 29, 2017. We will have a flag ceremony
and remembrance to those veterans who served. The Museum will be open for those
attending to come in and see our current exhibits.
Please call or write
the Museum (732-531-2136 or OceanMuseum@yahoo.com) or sign up
on-line to arrange for your loved one to be honored. Our focus is on local
veterans, but we welcome all who wish to be remembered.
