And, inside the church annex there was hot chocolate, coffee, tea with an assortment of baked goods provided ... 12/15/2009

    A Statue Stands in Tuckerton, NJ! When I first moved back to southern Ocean County many years ago, the statute in the middle of Tuckerton was always a bit of a mystery to me. It sits on a small island on Route 9, where the state highway and Great Bay Boulevard intersect, in between the Tuckerton Seaport and Lake Pohatcong. The statue is a tribute to those who gave their lives in World War I, and was erected by the Improved Order of the Red Men. Here’s a little background on this very old fraternal organization… The Improved Order of Red Men is a patriotic fraternity chartered by Congress. It is a non-profit organization devoted to inspiring a greater love for the United States of America and the principles of American Liberty. Its origin dates back to 1765 and is descended from the ... 11/20/2008

Are you looking for adventure while serving your country and your community? If the answer is yes, you might want to investigate opportunities with the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary (USCGA).

They explained that where ever your interests lie, and what ever skills you have, the Coast Guard Auxiliary... 09/22/2008
