On Veterans Day, Nov. 11, Gov. Jon S. Corzine and Maj. Gen. Glenn K. Rieth will be dedicating the New Jersey World War II Memorial. The ceremony will take place 2:30 p.m. at the Statehouse Plaza across from the memorial in Trenton.

Veterans Day is a fitting occasion to honor the men and women of the greatest generation for the sacrifices they made on behalf of our country more than 60 years ago.

Please save this date on your calendar and pass the information onto everyone who would like to join us for this momentous event. The tribute promises to be an occasion that will make every veteran and all New Jerseyans proud.

Mindful that a great many of you are having your own parades and ceremonies to honor local veterans on Nov. 11th, we have planned our ceremony for later in the day. We hope that this will allow everyone to attend the dedication.

For additional information or to RSVP, call the Public Affairs office at 609-530- 6942 or visit our Web site at: www.nj.gov/military/veterans/wwii_memorial/ index.html.
