To close out Memorial Day, please enjoy this beautiful rendition of "Sleep, Soldier Boy" performed by PJMS 8th Grader Natalie Halpenny. “Sleep, Soldier Boy” is a traditional Memorial Day tribute song written after World War I to honor fallen service members and their sacrifice for our country. Often performed at veterans ceremonies and memorial services, the song’s gentle, reflective message reminds us to pause, remember, and give thanks to those who gave their lives in service to our nation. 🇺🇸 Thank you to Natalie for bringing back this tradition that was formerly performed by her mother, Trisha (Eckert) Halpenny.

Today’s Memorial Day ceremony at Veterans Memorial Park was both somber and beautiful as our community came together to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. 🇺🇸

A heartfelt thank you to the Broome Street Band, the Port Jervis High School Band and Chorus, and Natalie Halpenny for their outstanding patriotic performances that made the ceremony so meaningful.

Special appreciation to Tri-State Naval Ship Commander Fabrizio Morejon for his moving tribute reminding us of the true meaning of Memorial Day and the importance of pausing to reflect, remember, and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Thank you to the VFW Post 161 Chaplain Steve Kronimus for leading our community in beautiful opening and closing prayers, and to all of the elected officials, veterans, families, and community members who attended today in remembrance and gratitude.

May we never forget the courage, sacrifice, and legacy of our fallen heroes. 🪖🎖️
