The following article appeared in the Courier News on 6/25/2006The Somerset County Board of Freeholders will hold a dedication ceremony noon June 29 for the veterans memorial plaza on Grove Street, Somerville. The new 200-foot-long plaza is next to the Somerset County Administration Building.

Its circular formation near Grove Street features flags from each of the five branches of the armed services, plus a flag for the World War II Merchant Marine veterans. It also has a stage area at the opposite end for presentations and public ceremonies.

The public is invited to attend the dedication ceremony. Members of local veterans organizations, officials from the 21 towns, local legislators and military personnel have been invited. Free parking is available in the Bernie Field Parking Deck off East High Street behind the plaza.

It's been six years since the opening of the Vets Memorial. I still remember the day of opening June 29, 2006. I was there on that day. I met a lot of wonderful personalities that day. It was a wonderful experience.
