On the wall are 219 names and pictures of veterans, including two husbands and wives. There are also pictures of veterans with family, friends and even famous people such as Queen Elizabeth and Bob Hope.

“It was very touching,” Spellman said about the ceremony.

The township expects the Wall of Honor to be a lasting tribute that will grow annually with the addition of other local heroes. To see the wall, visit the Voorhees Town Hall, located at the Voorhees Town Center.
