Little Falls Holds Annual Memorial Parade and Memorial Park Ceremony

By Tina Pappas

The Township held its annual Memorial Day Parade and Memorial Day services on May 28, with a special tribute to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

The parade, consisting of veterans, elected officials, and Township organizations, traveled on Main Street from the American Legion Post 108 building to Memorial Park on Wilmore Road, where officials and residents came together in remembrance.

Mayor James Damiano took part in the parade and ceremony, along with Council President Anthony Sgobba, Councilman Chris Vancheri, Councilwoman Christine Hablitz, Councilman Michael Murphy and Councilwoman Jayna Patel.

Damiano spoke to attendees of the importance of reflecting on the sacrifices made by those who defend the U.S. and to remember their family members as well.

“It’s important to remember not only those who put their lives on the line to give us the freedoms we have today, but also their families who selflessly supported their loved ones on the front lines,” he said.

American Legion NJ Post 108 Commander Herb Brychta, also emphasized the need to bring peace and closure to the families of those lost during service and who remain missing in action during past wars, adding that the mission continues to bring their remains back home.

What’s behind the trees on Rifle Camp Road? The Friends of the Alfred Baumann Library and the Alfred Library staff wore yellow shirts with a construction theme in the Memorial Day parade to kick off its moving campaign. As you may know, the Alfred Baumann Library received a grant for a brand new building.
