The Muhlenberg Township Parks & Recreation Department is planning a Memorial Day event on Monday, May 25th at 9:00 AM at Jim Dietrich Park (4899 Stoudts Ferry Bridge Road) near the flagpole. Our program will consist of guest speaker, Robert Souders, MGySgt, USMC(ret), Outreach Coordinator & Veterans Service Officer of Berks County Veterans Affairs; State Rep. Jacklyn Rusnock; and State Senator Judy Schwank will be in attendance and speaking. The posting of the colors will be done by Boy Scout Troops #161 & #155. Music will be provided by a brass ensemble from the Muhlenberg High School under the direction of Nathan Mohler. Taps will be performed. “A Soldier’s Legacy” will be recited by NHS Muhlenberg High School student Ashley De Los Santos. Wreaths will be laid in honor of Gold Star Families and all military branches, as well as military police and firefighters. Light refreshments will be served afterward at the Steve Landes Pavilion. This year, a fully-restored 1942 military Jeep will be on display for all to see. Please join us as we recognize those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of our nation. Bring your own chairs, please. (In the event of rain, all portions of the event will be held at Pavilion 2 at the park.) For more information, call 610-929-4727.
