Memorial Day Weekend 'Salute to Veterans' Breakfast Registration Now Open

Hillsborough Township announced registration for the Annual Salute to Veterans Breakfast during Memorial Day Weekend is now available.

The Salute to Veterans Breakfast was added to the township’s Annual Memorial Day Parade and Garden of Honor Commemoration Program 10 years ago. Each year about 250 veterans and family attend the breakfast, the township said.

“All Hillsborough Veterans, spouses and widows are invited to be our guests at the Annual Salute to Veterans Breakfast to be held the morning of Saturday, May 23,” Hillsborough Mayor Doug Tomson said in a release from the township.

The agenda for the day includes check in for the breakfast at 7:30am with the pre-parade breakfast starting at 8 a.m. The breakfast will be held rain or shine. Following the breakfast, all guests and visitors will be invited to step outside to the official dedication and unveiling of Veterans Way, according to Hillsborough Township.

“It is an honor for which we in Hillsborough are truly humbled to have the opportunity to recognize our Veterans and have a physical tribute to memorialize our Veterans as a permanent reminder of the many sacrifices our military personnel and their families make in protection of our freedom as a nation,” Tomson added.

Registration is required to attend the breakfast, which can be performed online through the recreation website or by calling the Hillsborough Recreation Department at 908-369-4832.
