Deceased military veterans were honored in Central Jersey Thursday afternoon.

A procession of family members who lost their loved ones in war drove from the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office in Freehold to a cemetery in Wrightstown. The cremated remains of 21 veterans will be interred there.

The service was made possible thanks to the organization Vietnam Veterans of America.
