The Nutley Department of Public Affairs and Health, in partnership with the Military and Veterans Affairs Bureau and the Nutley Veterans Council invites the community to join them in observing Veterans Day 2023.

The ceremony will take place on Saturday, November 11, 2023, in Commissioner’s Chambers on the 3^rd floor of Town Hall or at the WWII Monument based on weather conditions. The ceremony will begin promptly at 11:00am.

Immediately following, all are invited to participate in the annual Veteran’s Day Ruck March.  In true military fashion, participants will carry a weighted ruck sack or backpack through Memorial Park from the monument to Kingsland Manor and back for the 5K march.  

To honor the on average 22 veterans a day, who take their own life, the suggested weight for your rucksack will be 22lbs or 22 canned goods to be donated to the Nutley Family Service Bureau Food Pantry immediately following the 5K ruck march. All are welcome to participate, any other weight and no weight, is permissible as well. All participants are responsible for packing and bringing their own rucksack or backpack.
