South Brunswick Schedules Street Sign Ceremony To Honor 96-Year-Old Korean War Vet

SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ - South Brunswick has announced that the street sign dedication ceremony honoring Roy E. Menghi, a 96-year-old Korean War veteran, will be held on Saturday, at 11 a.m. The ceremony was originally planned for May 24, but had to be rescheduled.

The dedication will take place at the intersection of Kendall Road and Palmer Road, where a secondary street sign bearing Mr. Menghi's name will be unveiled. This recognition is part of the Township's Veterans Street Sign Recognition Program, which demonstrates South Brunswick's ongoing commitment to honoring local veterans who have served their country.

Menghi's military service during the Korean War exemplifies the courage and dedication shown by American service members during this significant period in our nation's history. The Korean War, fought from 1950 to 1953, saw thousands of young Americans serve in challenging conditions abroad.

By incorporating veterans' names into the community's infrastructure, South Brunswick ensures that their service and dedication remain visible reminders for generations to come.

The Township has established a comprehensive Veterans Street Sign Program that continues to recognize deserving veterans throughout the community. Those interested in learning more about the program can visit the Township's website at https://southbrunswicknj.gov/public-relations/veteran-street-sign/ for detailed information about eligibility requirements and the application process.
