By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER –Township High School students and staff once again welcomed local veterans and the community to the school for a special ceremony in honor of those who served. Local veterans were invited to the 18th Annual Veterans Recognition Program a week prior to Veterans Day. The ceremony began with a presentation of colors by the MTHS New Jersey ROTC Cadets. The crowd was then graced with the sounds of the MTHS Concert Choir, led by Director Dwight Weaver. Guest speaker, retired United States Navy member Glenn Kildare spoke about his experience as a serviceman in many capacities such as a distinguished Blue Angel. Local bagpiper Tom McGovern of Ocean County’s Shamrock & Thistle Pipes & Drums joined students Ben Said and Andrew Perez of Bagpipe and Drums for “Amazing Grace.” Trumpet soloist Jurissa DeOcampo performed Taps.

The High School then took the celebration on the road visiting each of the district’s schools and then culminating their two-day celebration at the Regional Day School for a ceremony and lunch with students, staff, community members
