Toms River to Honor Local Heroes at Annual Veterans Day Parade


TOMS RIVER, N.J. — Toms River Mayor Dan Rodrick and the Township Council are inviting members of the public to attend the annual Veterans Day Parade and Wreath Laying Ceremony in Downtown Toms River on Monday.

This year’s Ocean County Veterans Day Parade will march through downtown Toms River on Monday, November 11, starting at 9:45 a.m., with community members gathering to honor veterans and service members. Organized by the Toms River Township Veterans Commission, the event will feature a series of ceremonial tributes, recognitions, and student essay awards, followed by the placing of wreaths at the Veterans Memorial.

The day will begin with a welcome and invocation by Rev. Michael M. Mazur, setting a solemn tone for the observance of America’s local veterans.


Samantha Parker, a bugler, will lead attendees in the national anthem, supported by the Toms River High School South band. Following the anthem, former Toms River Mayor Paul Wnek will address the crowd, with Toms River Township Council President Craig Coleman providing opening remarks.

A highlight of the event will be the introduction of the parade’s Grand Marshals—veterans Arnie Boyle of the U.S. Army, Lou Vella of the U.S. Navy, and Bob Tweer of the U.S. Army.
