MILITARY HONORS EVENT

Cumberland County Military Service Medal

On Thursday, March 26th from 4pm to 6:00pm the Cumberland County Board of Chosen Freeholders, Cumberland County College Student Veterans Association, Cumberland County College Student Senate and Cumberland County Veterans Department, will host the 4th Annual Military Honors Event. The event will be held at the Cumberland County College George P. Luciano Conference Center, located at 3322 College Drive in Vineland.

The mission of this event is to not only present up to 50 local Veterans with the Cumberland County Military Service Medal, but to provide an event that intertwines students from Cumberland County College and participants from our community as they come together for a very special event.

The event will kick-off with 3:30pm Registration and several service organizations located in the Conference Center lobby.  It will culminate with the awarding of the Military Service Medal beginning at 4pm and concluding with light beverages around 6pm. Dignitaries from the area will also be on hand to off remarks and congratulations to our recipients and their loved ones.

If you are a Cumberland County Veteran or know someone who is and they have not received the Cumberland County Military Service Medal, please contact the Cumberland County Veteran Affairs and Interment Office and speak with either Joyce at (856)453-2166 or Diana at (856)453-2239 for eligibility requirements and an application.  We honor up to 50 Veterans annually.
