Day 8 of Veterans 21 County Tour

Atlantic County was the tenth stop on the 21 County Veterans Tour.

Today in Northfield, New Jersey, Commissioner Solomeno joined hundreds as the Tunnel to Towers Foundation broke ground on its second New Jersey Veterans Village.

It’s another example of public and private partnership delivering housing and results for those who served. To see more on this event, check out our Facebook post! 

That evening Commissioner Solomeno and the 21 County Veterans Tour made it to beautiful Salem County for the seventh annual packed house Veterans Dinner honoring the service of Edward Bronka, Stefon Coleman, Richard Eber, Jr., William Ecret, James Garrison, Thomas Romansky, and Mark Taylor, Jr.

The New Jersey Department of Veterans Affairs values our partnership with Salem County Veterans Services and Salem Community College. It was a privilege to salute these American heroes. Congratulations all!
