(Gloucester Township, NJ) – The Freeholder Board, Fireman's and Fire Chief's Association honored first responders with the unveiling of the newly constructed "First Responder Memorial" at the Camden County Regional Emergency Training Center in Gloucester Township.
This year will be the first year that the First Responder Memorial is exhibited and viewed. The memorial will honor all first responders who have died in the line of duty dating all the way back to the early nineteen hundreds. In total, the memorial will feature the names of 66 fallen men and women and two canines who were killed on duty.
Congressman Donald Norcross talked about the importance of providing a dedicated space for a monument to first responders.
The memorial was constructed with a contribution from the Freeholder Board, funds raised by first responders and a generous donation by EP Henry. The construction of the monument took place over the last six months.
