As we celebrate our abundant entertainment options over this holiday weekend in Greater Morristown, may we also reflect on the dear price paid by so many for our bounty.
Thank you to all who have served our country, and especially to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, and to their loved ones who have shouldered the heavy burden of that sacrifice.
