Thank you all for your service
So glad I submitted my grandpop. I just wish my dad was here to see it. Can’t wait to find his banner hanging in town.
That you took the time to post these tributes--with music! --is appreciated.
That is awesome!
I love this! I am so sad I missed this for my dad. I will be on the lookout for next year.
So many came home to serve Hammonton more: Doctors, business owners, & Benny as volunteer with Rescue Squad.
My grandfather Douglas B Payne coast guard merchant marine. Traveled the world twice served in World War II. Life long resident of Hammonton NJ.
How do we submit an active Marine?
I believe they left a few out
