A Veterans Day Message From Mayor Tom Giordano
Dear Friends & Neighbors:
On this Veterans Day, I would like to extend along with your Council Members our sincerest gratitude to all our Waldwick Veterans and all Veterans across our country for your bravery, hard work and dedication to our country.
Let us take a moment this Veterans Day weekend to think of our Veterans who fought for our freedom, and for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for us.
May we always remember their families and always keep them in our prayers.
We are grateful to each and every Veteran for stepping forward when others stepped back, for placing yourselves between us and danger, for serving our country and for protecting our freedom.
May we always honor and remember all our brave Veterans who fought to give us a safe and peaceful place to live in.
May our good Lord continue to bless Our Veterans, Our Country and our wonderful community we call home, Waldwick.
