The township will honor all past and present service members on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, at its annual ceremony, also at the municipal building. A Flags for Heroes will be on display and guests can sponsor a flag to honor their chosen heroes and raise funds for community endearvors.
To do so, there is a donation due by Friday, Oct. 31. For more information, visit https://trellis.org/wjr-flags-for-heroes
The sponsorships have funded the following:
- Scholarships to local students, including students of military families

A donation will honor a hero with his or her name and information on a laminated badge that is placed with a flag. After the event, the badge can be kept as a memento.
The powerful and emotional display of flags will be up for two days beginning Friday, Nov. 10 at the municipal building.
