On behalf of Jewish War Veterans Post 126 of Cherry Hill and the Spevak Family of Cherry Hill, we are pleased, yet saddened to announce that the 10th Annual Thanksgiving Day Troop Surprise Dinner and entertainment at the Palace of Asia Ballroom in Cherry Hill is cancelled this Thanksgiving Day.
Due to the winding down of troop deployments from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, there is no longer a need for such an event this year.
In 2014, we will re-evaluate the need to provide entertainment and a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner for our troops that has made South Jersey proud these past nine years.
We would like to wholeheartedly thank the more than 10,000 patriotic greeters, Cherry Hill Township mayor, council president, fire and police departments, biker clubs, veteran organizations, numerous sponsors and volunteers, elected officials and organizers who have made this event a day to remember.
Hosting and entertaining more than 2,500 soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who were apart from their families while defending our great nation has been a great honor for JWV Post 126 and the Spevak Family.
Join us in keeping the many soldiers here at home and oversees, along with our veterans, in your thoughts and prayers this upcoming holiday season.
