🇺🇸 Thank you to everyone who came out today in honor of Memorial Day 🇺🇸

Special thanks to South Plainfield BSA Troop 207 for replacing over a thousand flags and veteran markers at three of our local cemeteries last weekend. They also cleaned up our property followed by spreading fresh mulch donated by KLK Trucking.
