The Parade of Wreaths ceremony on Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J. was held on Thursday, May 25. The event honors service members and police personnel who have given their lives in the line of duty. The Manchester Township High School JR ROTC was honored to participate in the ceremony this year. 

The installation and the Thomas B. McGuire Jr. Foundation conducted the first of what became the Parade of Wreaths in 1983, and have held it annually since, to commemorate Memorial Day. (U.S. Air Force photo-illustration by Tech. Sgt. Austin Knox) per https://www.jbmdl.jb.mil/. 

We continue to be grateful for the partnership that the Manchester Township School District has with the neighboring JB-MDL and the opportunities it provides our students to participate in these events and ceremonies.
