Reminiscent of years gone by, when busloads of out of state soldiers from Ft Dix were treated to Thanksgiving Dinner at Americas Best Motel in Cherry Hill, our community once again has the chance to show our South Jersey hospitality for our active military on Thanksgiving.

 

On Thanksgiving Day, (Thursday, November 22^nd, 2018) a warm welcome and a Thanksgiving feast await some out of state active military men (10 Army/Navy) that are currently training at Cooper Hospital in Camden and are unable to be home with their families. 

 

American Legion Post 372 of Cherry Hill will be hosting the Thanksgiving meal and invite local dignitaries, residents, adults and children alike, to gather outside of the Legion in the parking lot to provide a well-deserved and patriotic surprise welcome for them as they arrive for a Thanksgiving meal with their comrades.

 

If interested in welcoming them in, arrive at the American Legion by 11am. Bring a flag, a homemade sign—bring your family to welcome them in!

 

If interested in participating in the motorcycle escort, rally at the CVS Parking Lot, 600 North Kings Hwy (corner of Kings Hwy and Chapel Ave), Cherry Hill, NJ at 10am. Kick Stands up at approx. 11:00am. The escort will pick the men up in Camden and bring them back to the American Legion at approx. 11:30am.

 

A brief meet and greet period will occur so we may all thank them for their service before they are escorted to the main Hall for a homemade Thanksgiving meal with their comrades.

 

LOCATION: American Legion Post 372, 1532 Martin Ave., Cherry Hill, NJ 08002
