U.S. Army’s 250th Birthday Ceremony
Thank You for Celebrating With Us
Thank you to everyone who joined the Veterans Tribute of Oakland Township on Saturday, June 14, to celebrate the 250th Birthday of the United States Army. It was an honor to gather with Veterans, families, and community members to recognize the legacy, service, and proud history of the U.S. Army.
Your presence helped make this milestone celebration meaningful, as we reflected on the generations of Soldiers who have stood in defense of our nation since 1775.
We are grateful to our Veterans, their families, and all who continue to support the mission of honoring service and sacrifice in our community.
Army Strong.
2025 Memorial Day Ceremony
Thank You for Joining Us
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the VTOT Memorial Day Ceremony on Monday, May 26, 2025. We were honored to stand together as a community to remember and reflect on the sacrifices made by our Nation’s Fallen Veterans.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all who shared the names of their loved ones. Each name read, each ring of the VTOT Memorial Bell, and each moment of silence was a meaningful tribute to the courage, service, and sacrifice of those who gave their lives in defense of our country.
Your participation helped create a thoughtful and respectful observance, and we are grateful for your presence and support.
If you were unable to attend this year, we hope you will join us in the future as we continue our mission to honor and remember.
Lest we forget.
