Dear Residents,

Memorial Beach is open and summer is finally here!

Mount Arlington is proud to honor those who served our nation and paid the ultimate price for our freedoms. Our thanks to Acting Borough Clerk Ashley Todd, Assistant Administrator Lauren Schaeffner, Department of Public Works and our Police Department for coordinating a successful Memorial Day Ceremony, and our Fire Department’s honor guard for presenting the colors and the Lake Hopatcong Veterans Committee for raising the flags. A special thank you to long-time Borough resident Mr. David Gardner and his “A-Team”, who for many years have been the red shirts behind the scenes coordinating the staging of the parade lineup, who swiftly switch gears to assist in the set up and break down of our ceremony this year. We couldn’t do it without them! We appreciate all our Borough Veterans who participated in the day including our Grand Marshal Mr. Ed Parrillo. Mr. Parrillo is a Vietnam Veteran and we were honored to have him speak at the Ceremony. Thank you also to our guest speakers from Picatinny Arsenal Lt. Col. Micah Rue, Assemblyman Christian Barranco, and Sherrif James Gannon; and Commissioners Steve Shaw and Tom Mastrangelo for participating. Lastly our gratitude to the Elks Lodge #782 for not only their participation in the ceremony, but also for graciously inviting ALL in attendance back to the lodge. Thank you to all of you who joined us to remember our fallen heroes.
