The Memorial Day Weekend in Atlantic City began with a Memorial Service at Jackson Ave and the Boardwalk honoring the 50 Atlantic County residents who gave up their lives during the Vietnam War so we could live our lives in freedom. Ultimately All of Those Who Gave The Ultimate Sacrifice Are Remembered Whether We Knew Them Or Not!
In attendance our local patriots who served in the military and all branches were represented.

In addition making an appearance, Assemblyman Don Guardian, City Councilman Kaleem Shabazz, Assemblywoman Claire Swift, Chief of Police James Sarkos and Fire Chief Scott Evans.
The speeches and tributes were moving and passionate.
