WEST MILFORD Members of Saint Joseph Church, West Milford, who attended the 9 o’clock Mass on November 13 had the opportunity to be a part of the celebration honoring the living veterans of the parish, some of whom had served this country over fifty years ago. Knights of Columbus members Ken Cook and Ed Villiette read the roster of veterans’ names and made note of the branch of service in which they have served. As the veterans stood to be recognized they were handed an American flag. “These veterans standing before you, and the many veterans who have served before them, are the reason, and the only reason, that we can practice our religion freely in this country” Cook said. “Please remember these veterans and the men and women currently serving our country, many of whom are in harm’s way. God bless America,” he concluded.
