Honoring Our Heros

Battleship New Jersey and American Flag

Join us for the Fourth Annual Honoring Our Heroes Program

This year’s ceremony pays tribute to 14 New Jersey heroes — 11 from World War I, 2 from World War II, and 1 from the Korean War. Including Medal of Honor recipients from New Jersey.

The 2026 ceremony also proudly introduces a new recognition category celebrating women who distinguished themselves in military service, honoring three New Jersey natives who served during World War I, World War II, and Vietnam.

Returning recognition categories this year include:

  • POW/MIA
  • Rosie The Riveter
  • Gold Star Families
  • Tuskegee Airmen

This year’s guest speaker is Capt. Ralph Galati, USAF (Ret.), who will address attendees as part of this meaningful tribute to those who have served and sacrificed for our nation.

Honoring Our Heroes is free and open to the public. All are welcome to join us in paying tribute to those who served.
