Honoring heroes in Newark on Veterans Day
Fred Pirelli, Lt. Col. USAR (Retired) recognized the Veterans, and the invocation was given by Chaplain James Rooney of the VFW. The Newark Fire Department sounded their air horn at 11 a.m., to remember 'the Armistice,' the end of World War I.
The National Anthem and Taps were played by volunteer Newark High School Band members, directed by Dave Schwind. (John Zornow took photos from the fourth floor of 165 East Union Street.) Copyright
