On August 17, 2019, at the "Olde Freehold Day" celebration, Monmouth Post 54 was presented a Resolution by Mayor J. Nolan Higgins of Freehold Borough and a Proclamation by Mayor Barbara J. McMorrow of Freehold Township. Both awards were presented to the post in recognition of their 100 years serving the veterans of the Freehold area.
Post 54 commander, Pat Lawlor, accepted the award on behalf of the members of American Legion Post 54. With Commander Lawlor were members of the Monmouth Post 54 Centennial Celebration Committee, which is made up of members of the Post 54 American Legion family; American Legion Post 54, American Legion Auxiliary Unit 54, and Sons of the American Legion Squadron 54.
The presentation was witnessed by approximately 100 Freehold area townspeople, who enthusiastically applauded after each mayor's speech.
