Bayonne’s Nicholas Oresko, now of Cresskill, is the nation’s oldest living recipient of the Medalof Honor, earned for heroic actions at Tettingen, German on January 23, 1945.
“Though the law protects the right to free speech and assembly which this group so clearly takesfor granted, that does not mean they are welcome in Trenton or anywhere else in New Jersey,”Beck stated. “While this group of bigots attempts to resurrect a twisted set of beliefs long agorejected by history, we in the Legislature will pay tribute to the memory of those who represent
the best of America- our service men and women.”
All Senators are invited to join in co-sponsorship of this resolution.
