Today the New Jersey Department of Transportation unveiled the new signs dedicating the new Ensign John R. Elliott Memorial Interchange at I-295 and Rte. 42 near Philadelphia. Thank you NJDOT Commissioner Francis O'Connor, State Senators Vince Polistina and Nilsa Cruz-Perez and their Assembly colleagues for co-sponsoring legislation making the naming possible. This interchange would have saved our son's life 24 years ago when his life tragically intersected with a drunk driver near Woodstown, N.J. two months after John graduated from the United States Naval Academy and was preparing to enter Naval Flight School.
