In honor of those who gave their lives while fighting for our freedom, Middletown Township will be holding its annual Memorial Day Parade at 10:00 AM on Monday, May 31st. The 2-mile parade will begin at Bayshore Middle School (834 Leonardville Road) and conclude at Croydon Hall (900 Leonardville Road).
A variety of organizations will be participating in the parade, including the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps Color Guard, dignitaries, local Scout troops, first responders, horses, antique cars and motorcycle groups, as well as 60 bikers.
The parade will end at the World War II Monument at Croydon Hall where “Taps” will be played to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
“People often associate Memorial Day Weekend with barbecues and beaches and forget the true meaning behind this holiday,” said Mayor Tony Perry. “On this Memorial Day, please remember those who have served our nation and gave their lives in defense of the freedoms we all enjoy day. They are true heroes, and we should honor and remember them, not just on Memorial Day but every day.”
The Township encourages the community to line the streets along the parade route to show support for our veterans and honor those we lost. For more information about the parade and to view the route, visit www.middletownnj.org/parade. |

Veterans Teach Local Cub Scouts About American
Flag Etiquette
|
|
|
|
 The Cub Scouts met members of the Veterans Affairs Committee at VFW Post 2179 in Port Monmouth.

|

On Tuesday, May 25th, members of the Middletown Veterans Affairs Committee spoke with Cub Scouts from Pack 205 of Nut Swamp Elementary School about American flag etiquette. Vietnam War veterans Dennis Beauregard, Bob Siemer and Mike Quilty taught the 4th graders about the flag's history and how to properly display, fold, raise, and lower it. The troop also learned how to salute the flag and retire it. Each scout was able to put their new knowledge to practice by taking turns folding the flag.

Middletown Installs “Smart” Parking Meters at Ideal Beach and Train Station Parking LotsIn preparation for Memorial Day Weekend, Middletown Township has completed the installation of user-friendly “smart” parking meters at the Ideal Beach parking lot. The meters were also installed at the Daily Parking Lot of the Middletown Train Station at the beginning of the year. The “smart” parking meters, some of which are solar, offer several payment options. You can pay with a credit card (Visa, Master Card, Amex and Discover), debit card, or the mPay2Park mobile app.
By using the pay-by-app option, users will now have the ability to remotely add time to their parking transaction (up to the space’s time limit) from their mobile device.
In order to use the pay-by-app option, users will need to establish an “mPay2Park” account by downloading the free mPay2Park app on the iTunes or Google Play app store. For more information about the app, visit www.mpay2park.com.
