Evesham officials attended the annual Village Greenes Veterans Day observance on Nov. 9 to unveil four new plaques on the community’s veterans wall of honor.

The wall was inspired by the Evesham Township Veterans Wall of Honor at the municipal complex. The ceremony featured songs from the Village Greenes’ choir and acapella group, as well as words from guest speaker Dr. Tyshawn Jenkins, an Air Force veteran who spoke as a representative of the Wounded Warrior Project.
