Honoring Our Soldiers From Ft. Dix
Mt. Holly, New Jersey
When: Thursday, August 6th
Time: 7pm
Where: America EMS Building
219 Mill Street (across from 7-11 store)
Mt. Holly, New Jersey 08060
Contact: John Hennessey (saluteburlcotroops.com)
Please come out for this huge event taking place this Thursday, August
6th at 7pm at the above address. There are 30-40 soldiers in the WTU
at Ft. Dix who will be honored. WTU stands for Warriors Transition
Unit. This means that these soldiers have been injured in current war
and are being housed at this unit at Ft. Dix. It can be very lonely
and difficult to be recovering from injury and be away from loved
ones. It could not be more fitting to honor these soldiers in the big
way that we do things for the troops in our area.
Saluteburlcotroops.com is hosting this event. They have summoned all
local troop support groups to assist and we are all on board. The
Warriors Watch Riders and other riding groups will pick up the heroes
and escort them “Rock Star” style to the EMS building in Mt. Holly
where patriotic well wishers will be waiting. There will also be fire
trucks in the precession. This precession will be long and very loud
with screaming sirens and thundering motorcycles to let the world know
that the noise is for our troops.
At the EMS building the waiting crowd will include the Yellow Ribbon
Club, A Hero’s Welcome, various EMS, Fire and Rescue Company’s, and
local residents. At 7pm there will be a ceremony honoring these brave
soldiers who have put themselves on the line for us and were injured
while doing so. At the very least we can come out to thank them and
give them a Welcome Home fit for a hero. The ceremony will include a
few speakers and presentations to our hero’s. There will be
refreshments and drinks available also.
Please come join us for this awesome event and use this opportunity to
personally thank some true hero’s for protecting our freedom.
