Lifetime Hillsborough resident and retried Air Force Lt. Col Fred Quick will lead Hillsborough’s Memorial Day commemoration ceremonies on Saturday, May 28.
Mr. Quick joined the Air Force in 1953 and retired as a lieutenant colonel in 1981. He flew cargo plans from Dover Air Force Base to various places throughout the world.
Mr. Quick will lead the parade, which begins at 10:30 a.m. at the corner of Auten and Triangle roads. The route will proceed from Auten Road onto New Amwell to Beekman Lane, and into the municipal complex and the Garden of Honor.
Mr. Quick will be the featured speaker at the ceremony, which should begin about 11:15 a.m.
“Mr. Quick has been a dedicated community member, not only during his military career, but has served the township and county as a volunteer on many boards and commissions over the past 40 years,” said Mayor Frank DelCore at Tuesday’s Township Committee meeting.
Hillsborough veterans are invited to the “Salute to Veterans” breakfast, which starts at 7:30 a.m. in the municipal building. Veterans will be bused to be in position to lead the parade at 10:30 a.m.
