The Muhlenberg Township Parks & Recreation Department is planning a Memorial Day event on Monday, May 26, at 9 a.m., at Jim Dietrich Park near the flagpole. The program will feature Gold Star Son Stewart “Rusty” Lerch, who lost his father in WWII.
State Rep. Jacklyn Rusnock will speak, as will Muhlenberg commissioners Mike Malinowski and Kevin Lerch. The posting of the colors will be done by Boy Scout Troops #161 & #155. An invocation and benediction will be done by Rev. Linda Kozlowski of Good Shepherd UCC.
Music will be provided by a brass ensemble from Muhlenberg High School under the direction of Nathan Mohler. “Taps” will be performed. Local author Dave Roslin will read his poem, “MIA.” “Freedom isn’t Free” will be recited by a Muhlenberg High School student. Bagpiper Diana Cook will play music.
Wreaths will be laid in honor of Gold Star families and all military branches, as well as police and firefighters. Light refreshments will be served afterward at the Steve Landes Pavilion.
Please join Muhlenberg Township Parks & Recreation as they recognize those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of our nation. Bring your own chairs, please.
