On Monday, the Township will show their support of all veterans and those men and women now serving in the military at Lakewood’s traditional Memorial Day ceremonies, starting with the “Raising of the American Flag” ceremony at 10:00 a.m. at Lakewood’s Town Square, Clifton Avenue.
The Memorial Day Parade will begin at 10:15 a.m. and pass the Review Stand on its way down Clifton Avenue to the All War Memorial Amphitheater at Lake Carasaljo, North Lake Drive, where the Memorial Day program will take.
In case of inclement weather the Memorial Day ceremony will be held in the auditorium
of the Lakewood Municipal building, 231 Third Street.
Mayor Menashe Miller, who is a Major in the Air Force and a chaplain, Senator Robert W. Singer, Senator Sean Kean, and Assemblyman David Rible, among other dignitaries, will be present at the All Wars Memorial Amphitheater.
Mayor Menashe Miller says, “The parade is a wonderful opportunity for the entire community to demonstrate their support for our esteemed veterans and for our selfless men and women currently in the service both here and abroad.” TLS.
Every resident of Lakewood, both Jew and non Jew alike should show up as a sign of respect for our military service men and women.
Will there be a mechitza for men and women?
cool masmid is amking a siyum likavod memorial day
You wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for our veterens. Does anyone realize that? Would you give your life for your country?
Monday is Memorial Day it is a federal holiday. Men and women died for this country. All public schools are closed. Why are the private schools not closed for this day? Public schools have to close for religious holidays. It is a shame to be lined up for the parade to start and have to be held up for the school buses.
no school busses go out at 10:15 am!!

The same goes for July 4th..people forget if we didn’t fight for independence we would not be able to worship as we do today….
That’s why there is so much division in this town, people should respect each other’s holiday’s….

I think they should fill all the school buses with kids and drive along in the parade and the lcsw moble home should be in front of the buses
This is NOT a religious holiday. It’s an AMERICAN holiday, thanking all the men/women who put/puts their lives in harms way for ALL of us, so you/me have the freedom that we do. EVERYONE should participate.
