Jersey Shore Beach Tags and Other Discounts

We love hearing stories from our Montco Veterans about discounts and freebies

that they have received when they show their Montgomery County Veterans’

Discount ID Card. Almost 500 regional businesses participate in our program and

offer discounts to honor our local veterans; we encourage both the public and our

veterans to support these local establishments, and we also tell our veterans to

show their card everywhere, not only to increase business’ participation in our

program, but also to receive a discount they may not have known of prior.

Recently, a few veterans have told us that some Jersey Shore beach tag

communities, including Cape May, Ocean City, and Sea Isle City offer free beach

tags for veterans. For more information and further details, check the websites of

these municipal communities. Always ask about a veteran discount.

Check out our current participating merchant list on our website and always #ShowYourCard.

Volunteers Sought for Reading of the Names at Vietnam Memorial in DC

“By saying their names, we are saying we will never forget them.”

In honor of the 35th Anniversary of the dedication of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial

in Washington, DC, the names of the 58,318 service members who were killed or

remain missing will be read at The Wall over a 65-hour period beginning November

7, 2017 and continuing through November 10, 2017. Volunteers are being sought to

participate in the Reading of the Names and can choose a time slot or specific name

they would like to read.

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund hosts this event, which is only the sixth time in history the names have been

read at The Wall. The public’s participation helps educate both current and future generations about the Vietnam

War and its impact. Spectators are invited to attend the Reading of the Names at The Wall.

Sorg Participates in Korean War Memorial and Peace Park Groundbreaking

Montgomery County Recorder of Deeds Jeanne Sorg joined over 100 members of the community to celebrate the

groundbreaking of the Korean War Memorial and American-Korean Alliance Peace Park in Montgomery Township.

Located in Memorial Grove Park just off Kenas Road, the

memorial will honor those soldiers and residents of both

countries that were killed in the Korean War.

“This memorial honors those who died serving our country

and celebrates our nation’s friendship with South Korea,”

said Sorg. “As Recorder of Deeds it is a privilege to honor

our Montgomery County veterans every day with our

Veterans’ Discount ID Program,” she continued, “and I

hope projects like this Peace Park remind all Americans to

thank those who serve and who have served in our

military, and remember those soldiers who made the

ultimate sacrifice.”

The campaign to build the memorial was spearheaded by

Master Bong Pil Yang and others, who organized a

community fundraising effort coupled with a contribution of $250,000 from the Korean government to pay for

construction of the Peace Park Memorial, which will include benches for meditation and symbolic plantings.
