Beach Haven Seeks Memorial Day Participants
B
each Haven is seeking organizations and individuals to participate in the borough’s observances for Memorial Day on Monday, May 28. The events begin with a parade at 10 a.m. from Taylor Avenue to Veterans Bicentennial Park, where the Beach Haven Community Arts Program conducts a service. Deputy Borough Clerk Lauren Rohrer, who is coordinating the event with Councilman Jim White and a special committee, said the keynote speaker has not been announced. Rohrer said the borough has received commitments from the Southern Regional Golden Rams Marching
Band, Coast Guard Auxiliary 5th Division in Manahawkin, Barnegat Light Coast Guard Station Color Guard, Assemblywoman DiAnne Gove (R-Ocean, Burl., Atl.), Beach Haven Exchange Club and Beach Haven Elementary School students. “I think it is especially important for the children to be in the parade and at the ceremony,” said Rohrer. “They need to understand why we have a Memorial Day.” White said that since he became a councilman when the borough changed its government in July 2010, he has sought to place a strong emphasis on the “true meaning of Memorial Day.” “I understand it serves as a kickoff for the summer season, and there are plenty of parties and cookouts,” he said. “But let us not forget about the hundreds of thousands of service men and women who gave their lives for our country. Memorial Day has lost some solemnity over the years.”
Rohrer said the borough has been contacting law enforcement groups, veterans groups, fire departments and town officials to participate. David White (no relation to the councilman), commander of Barnegat Light VFW Post 3729, said that any disabled veteran is invited to ride with the Beach Bums Corvette Club. “We welcome all veterans, from World War II to today’s men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan,” he said. After the Beach Haven event, the VFW post members conduct a service at the Post 3729 home in Long Beach Township at noon. At 1 p.m., they will hold a service in Ship Bottom outside the municipal building. Rohrer said that groups wishing to participate in the parade could contact her at 609-492-0111, extension 15. Veterans can call White at 508-579-8552. — Eric Englund
