The featured speaker will be Spirit of Princeton Co-founder Herb Hobler, a graduate of Princeton University class of 1944, founder of Nassau Broadcasting Company and WWII veteran. Hobler served as a navigator in B-29 flying missions over Japan. The B-29 was the first pressurized airplane, and flew twice as far and carried twice the bomb load of the better known B-17.
A wreath will be placed at the memorial by Spirit of Princeton co-founder and former Princeton Borough Councilman Ray Wadsworth. The Blawenberg Band and a bugler will provide the music for the ceremony.
