Congressman Kim Holds Annual Veterans Town Hall in Holmdel, Honors Local Military Community for Veterans Day

HOLMDEL, N.J. – Today, Congressman Andy Kim (NJ-03) held his annual veterans town hall at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Museum in Holmdel. During the town hall, a group of local veterans talked with neighbors about their experience while in service and passed along lessons about serving in the military to the next generation.

At his 69th monthly town hall, Congressman Kim was also joined by Holmdel Mayor Domenico Luccarelli and Chief Executive Officer of the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial, Amy Osborn. The Office of Congressman Kim thanks Jewuan Victor, MSgt (Ret) U.S. Air Force for leading the national anthem, servicemembers from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst for attending, and Freehold’s American Legion Post 54 for leading the Presentation of Colors.

In addition to hosting his annual veterans town hall, Congressman Kim dedicated much of early November to honoring local veterans. Some highlights from this month’s events and work thus far include:
