Honoring the sacrifice and service of our departed military veterans.
The program features the Atlantic County Sheriff’s Color Guard, the Atlantic County Corrections Officers’ Honor Guard; the Sandpipers’ Pipes and Drums, the presentation of the memorial wreath and the playing of Taps.
This is the first program to be held in the recently renamed Richard E. Squires Veterans Cemetery. Squires served as county executive and established the Atlantic County Veterans Cemetery in May 1985. He died at the age of 91 on April 2. Current County Executive Dennis Levinson announced his decision to rename the cemetery in Squire's memory shortly after his death.
