The Springfield Free Public Library is proud to host the Union County Office of Cultural and Heritage Affairs for a presentation, CHEERS OF JOY, LINGER SORROW: UNION COUNTY REMEMBERS ARMISTICE/VETERANS DAY at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, November 8.
In this presentation, Public History Advocate Erik Burro will highlight the variety of Union County World War I memorials as well as showcase several exceptional monuments found elsewhere in New Jersey.
As part of his talk, Mr. Burro will also discuss the fact that a World War I memorial will finally be unveiled in the nation's capital next year on November 11, more than a century after the war ended. Mr. Burro will discuss the design and also reveal how its sculptor created all of its sculptural elements right here in New Jersey.
