Councilman Bressi stated when these 3 bases joined together no one realized the strength it gave us, especially on the Eastern seaboard and why it was done between the New England states and Washington, D.C. To put a museum together to show, display and educate is so important to our freedoms and our Veterans for what they did in peace time and World War times. I really appreciate it and thank you all for doing it. Council Vice President Calogero stepped off the dais to personally congratulate Mr. Wysong and Mr. De Pasquale for their service. Mr. Wysong stated on behalf of the entire Board of Directors we thank you for this honor and recognition from Jackson Township Council and Mayor Michael Reina. The resolution tonight means a great deal to us because it raises the awareness further than the Proclamation. There are a number of museums on the bases but the public can’t access them for security reasons.
COUNCILMAN BRESSI – Was proud to make the Proclamation to educate everyone to understand what the cost of freedom means. Thanked the gentlemen for getting it out to the public.
COUNCILMAN MARTIN – A project like this reminds everyone what the Armed Forces do and we appreciate everything. Places like this make it possible to educate and the public can see what the Armed Forces do and how they protect us. Wished everyone a safe drive home.
COUNCILWOMAN UPDEGRAVE – Thanked the gentlemen for proposing their museum; it’s a great place for the residents to go and see the preservation and the history of the base.
COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT CALOGERO – Thanked the gentlemen for their hard work in putting this museum together. With the phrase, “Never Forget” from 911, you’re making sure we don’t forget even further.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT NIXON – My father spent part of this Army training in Fort Dix before he went to Vietnam; this base is a part of my family’s legacy. I’m grateful for what you are doing. Thanked everyone for coming out.
