BURLINGTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. - Veterans Memorial Park in Burlington Township, equipped with a tangible display of our military branches, honored our country’s fallen servicemen and women Monday afternoon for a Memorial Day service.
For gold star mother, Lisa Brunner, the moment when taps plays at the Memorial Day service is when everything hits home for her.
Brunner lost her son three years ago in an accident while he was serving in the U.S. Navy. "I have yet to make it through taps without crying.
I’m sure one day I will, but right now that’s still difficult," Brunner said.Many people gathered at the solemn wreath ceremony, including active and retired military members.
