AMERICAN LEGION MEMORIAL BRIDGE DEDICATED

     The History Project Committee discovered a letter dated March 20, 1972 to the Morris County Superintendent of Bridges and Culverts requesting that the newly built bridge #889 in front of the Post be named, "The American Legion Memorial Bridge...in honor of the township veterans". After searching the archives, no letter was found granting the request. The current superintendent was contacted and after an extensuve search of the county archives a letter was discovered dated March 29, 1972, from the Morris County Director of Freeholders granting permission to do so. In keeping with the wishes of their comrades of 45 years ago, Post 344, along with local and county dignitaries, conducted a bridge dedication ceremony on June 24, 2017 by unveiling a historiacal marker at the bridge site.
