Veterans Day 2025

Ewing Township Veterans Day ceremony set for Tuesday, November 11^th

Ewing Township citizens, veterans and families are cordially invited to join Mayor Bert Steinmann, Township Council and the Ewing Patriotic Committee on Veterans Day, Tuesday, November 11^th at 11 am to commemorate those who served, past and present, at Major General George J. Betor Veterans Park, 2 Jake Garzio Drive, at the rear of the municipal building. 

Originally known as Armistice Day, the observance marked the end of World War I which was formally recognized on the “11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month” in 1918.  President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11, 1919, as the first commemoration of Armistice Day.  Nov. 11 became a holiday dedicated to Armistice Day by Congressional Act in 1938 and we have since gathered annually to honor our veterans for their adherence to the ideals of patriotism and love of country, as well as a willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.

The College of New Jersey President, Michael A. Bernstein, will be the special guest speaker.  The welcome and remarks will be provided by Brigadier General Robert S. Dutko, Mayor Steinmann, and Council President Jennifer Keyes-Maloney.   Colonel Rick Ryczkowski will serve as Master of Ceremonies and introduce the event’s special guests.   Mayor Steinmann will lay the Veterans Day Wreath. 

Refreshments will be served under the pavilion at the conclusion of the ceremony.

This event is open to the public and members of the community are encouraged and welcome to attend.  Please join us as we honor the military men and women who have served our nation.
