CAPE MAY, N.J. — A Veteran’s Day event was held at the U.S. Coast Guard Training Center, Cape May, N.J., Nov. 11, to honor all those who have served our nation.
U.S. Coast Guard Capt. Todd Prestidge, commanding officer of Training Center Cape May, offered his remarks while members of the Marine Corp Dramis Detachment placed wreaths at the foot of the Douglas Munro memorial on base, here.

“Veteran’s Day is about honoring those who have decided to serve something greater than themselves,” said Prestidge. “Their choice to serve and protect this great nation offers a renewed sense of faith in what America stands for and to what lengths the men and women of the armed services are willing to go to protect it.”
Members of the training center’s ceremonial staff, as well as Capt. Prestidge, will be attending multiple events throughout Cape May County this Veteran’s Day.
