April 6, 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the U.S. entry into World War I. Ceremonies will be held that day around the United States to commemorate this landmark occasion.

New Jersey’s people and businesses played a vital role in this great international conflict. At noon on April 6th, you are invited to join Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno and leadership of the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and the NJ Dept. of Military and Veterans Affairs at the beautiful Trenton War Memorial building to honor the contributions and sacrifices made by New Jerseyans one hundred years ago.

Below you will find an invitation to join us for the wreath-laying ceremony at the War Memorial. Following the ceremony, please join us for refreshments and an advance screening of an excerpt from the upcoming PBS documentary, 'The Great War.'
