By Alyssa Riccardi HOWELL – Many residents, officials, first responders, and more gathered at Soldier Memorial Park to commemorate Memorial Day. However, a few days before the annual service and parade kicked-off, local police personnel took part in “Honor Day” at Eagle Oaks Golf Club. Howell Township Police said that Honor Day was established to recognize our Armed Forces members with a day of golf and a dinner afterward. The event allows kids to learn about law enforcement equipment close up as well as military equipment, all while raising money. This year, funds went towards Tunnel to Towers, which supports our Nation’s heroes who have made the extraordinary sacrifice in the line of duty. The event raised a record-breaking total of $410,000, Eagle Oaks Golf Club said. High School and Middle School kids were invited to attend the event and learn about some of the responsibilities and functions the military members perform. Howell Police Officers Ptl. Bush, Lt. Revilak, Ptl. McBride, Sgt. Hochhauser and Ptl. Higgins attended Honor Day and spent some time with Howell students, showing them some of the equipment that the department uses. Additionally, U.S. military was represented with helicopters, equipment and a parachute team that had a special “drop in.” (Military - See Page 4)
