Veterans Day 2011
The Annual Wreath Placing Ceremony took place on
Veterans Day, 11/11/11 at 11:00 AM in front of the East Orange
City Hall Veterans' Memorial.
Standing beside the East Orange Liberty Bell,
Cicely Tyson High School students Neil Davis and Deshaun Hinson of the East Orange Unified
Marching Band play the traditional "Taps" on their
trumpets.
Across the street at Cicely Tyson School, the
members of the East Orange Unified Marching Band interrupted
their rehearsal for Saturday's Playoff Football Game to stand at
attention facing the flag at City Hall. They pay respect to their
flag, the veterans gathered there, and hear their fellow band
members play Taps. An honor to one is an honor to all.

provide additional photos or information, we will link to it
