PBA supports Veterans Memorial
MONTGOMERY – Members of Montgomery Township’s Police Benevolent Association (PBA) have established the Montgomery Veterans Memorial Challenge. The organization will provide a one-to-one match for donations to the Veterans Memorial project up to a total of $2,500.
"We have a number of veterans among our ranks, and we’re proud to be part of a community that honors its war time veterans in a manner as special as this memorial," said PBA President Brian Hofacker in a statement.
Checks made out to Montgomery Veterans Memorial/PACF should be mailed to the Princeton Area Community Foundation, 15 Princess Rd., Lawrenceville, NJ 08648. Donations and pledges are also accepted online at www.montgomeryveteransmemorial.org.
The main components of Veterans Memorial include a central pentagram and five columns engraved with nearly 900 veterans’ names, which will be delivered in late May.
The official groundbreaking is planned for Friday, April 29 at 5 p.m. at the memorial location in Montgomery Park.
