Remembering Those Who Made the Ultimate Sacrifice

NEWTON – There were multiple remembrance ceremonies and parades throughout the Northwest New Jersey area on Monday, May 26. NJInsideScene.com was at Newton’s yesterday. The events began in Newton yesterday at 10 a.m., with a parade through the downtown along Spring Street. Parade participants, which varied from members of the military, local dignitaries, fire departments, Boy and Girl Scouts, nonprofit organizations, antique cars, regiments and more, marched down Moran Street into Memory Park, at the conclusion of the parade. From there, those who sacrificed their lives were remembered in a special ceremony. We have posted a few pictures from yesterday’s parade and ceremony.
