On June 26th on the Holy ground of the Camilla Hall Community Cemetery the members of the Wolf Tones Div. #1 of Chester and the Notre Dame #1 Division of Montgomery County came together with the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart to Celebrate their 50th  Anniversary. This establishment is mainly used for the IHM Sisters when they retire or have to go to after an illness.
With over two hundred nuns attending the service of prayer and song the AOH Color Guards of the Wolf Tones and Notre Dame Division followed by the Irish Thunder Pipes and Drums opened up the ceremony by leading fifty sisters to the area were the service was going to take place and were the rest of the IHM Sisters and guest were waiting.
Several readings were made and songs sung by the congragation. The closing prayer was made by Reverend Christopher Papa, AOH Chaplain.
Back in the recreation room were everyone congregated afterward for refreshments provided by the AOH and the Irish Thunder entertained the sisters with some Irish and  Patriotic music that they all enjoyed.
This event of piping and having refreshments for the sisters happens every year thanks to AOH President Mick Dunleavy of the Wolf Tones who organizes the event and coordinates with Mark Ryan  of the Notre Dame Division.

I wish you all a happy memorial day. Please keep in your prayers all our military personnell who are still in harms way in Iraq and Afghanistan and other parts of the world. Although it is a holiday for America and has recently been referred to as the beginning of summer, please reflect on what memorial day really means and thank God for our men and women in uniform who have protected us and have given the ultimate sacrifice.

Yesterday was a special day for me as I attended the dedication of a Viet Nam Memorial Wall in Wildwood NJ. Over 10,000 people attended this dedication with representatives from every branch of the military. This permanent wall is built to half scale of the Viet Nam Veterans Remembrance Wall in Washington DC and is the only permanent replica of that Wall although there is one somewhat similar in Florida.

About 2 years ago myself and some of our AOH brothers erected the Healing Wall, better known as the traveling wall,  in Fox Park in Wildwood NJ and at that time over 15,000 people visited it in just over 4 days. One of the people responsible for bringing that wall to NJ was Greg Mazzotta who proclaimed that “we will have our own permanent wall in Wildwood some day”. Unfortunately Greg died a month after starting the fundraising but his lifelong friend, Vince De Prinzio, would not let his friend’s dream die and contacted many of the organizations in the Wildwoods who got behind the project including the AOH and the Carpenters Union and many others and all the money was privately raised.  What a true memorial day for the people of New Jersey and especially for Tom Callahan who was there to see the wall in his own town. He lost one son in Viet Nam and another son died less than a year later from injuries received there. Just think of this father when you think of memorial day and as he said pray for all the troops and their families, living and deceased.
