In case you were wondering, the covered monument in front of the municipal building is a Purple Heart Monument, donated by the Union County Chapter of the Military Order of the Purple Heart.

It will be dedicated in a ceremony on Saturday, July 28 at 11 a.m. and the public is encouraged to attend.

This is the 8th Union County monument donated by the chapter, according to President Tony La Ferrara. Funds for the monument are raised through fundraisers, including one recently held outside of Clark's ShopRite.

In November, Garwood received a similar monument - read our story, here.
