He was appointed by Levinson in 2002 to serve as the county’s first Director of Veterans Services, a position he still holds today.
The event will be held at 11 am at the museum which is located at 189 S. Route 50, Mays Landing, near the entrance to the county park at Estell Manor, the home of the Richard E< Squires Veterans Museum.
