Prayers to Emily Roth, her family, friends and classmates.

Emily Virginia Roth is the strongest person I know. If you have the blessing of knowing Emily personally, you know that she is an incredibly intelligent individual who shows fortitude and composure with everything she does. Unfortunately, she now needs our help. On Saturday, June 20th at around 10:00 AM, a pressurized can of cooking spray exploded into flames at her local place of employment. Emily was nearest to the flames, and thus took the full force of the explosion. She is now left with third degree burns on her face, hands, and leg, affecting more than 20% of her body. Emily is being cared for at St. Barnabas Medical Center’s Burn Unit in Livingston, New Jersey. She is 18 years old, and would have participated in her graduation ceremony on Tuesday, June 23rd with not only her graduating class but also the National Honors Society within Morris Knolls High School. Emily wishes to study engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York and was incredibly excited to receive her acceptance into their 2019 graduating class. To help ease the burden, Emily’s friends have decided to start a fund to help collect all they can to give to the Roth family. The funds will go directly to her mother, father, 13 year old sister, and autistic 7 year old brother. All donations will be used towards the impending medical bills the family faces, as well as any rehabilitative or future therapies Emily and her family may need. Please be as generous as you can. Emily is a fighter who we are all incredibly proud of, and your thoughts and prayers are essential during this trying time.

On May 30, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation establishing a national Flag Day on June 14. The day commemorates the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States.

Denville Memorial Day Parade 2015

Memorial Day Parade will take place beginning at 10 a.m. on Memorial Day, Monday, May 25.

The parade route will start at East Main Street, near the A&P shopping center, will proceed to Bloomfield Avenue to Broadway to West Main Stree to Righter Avenue through St. Mary’s Church parking lot to Savage Road. The parade will conclude with ceremonies held at the Denville Cemetery.

Origins of Memorial Day

Memorial Day was originally called, Decoration Day. It is a day of remembrance for those who have died in service of the United States of America.

Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on May 5, 1868 by General John Logan, to honor our fallen from the Civil War.

“The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land,” proclaimed General John Logan.

On the first Decoration Day, General James Garfield made a speech at Arlington National Cemetery, and 5,000 participants decorated the graves of the 20,000 Union and Confederate soldiers buried there.

The first state to officially recognize the holiday was New York in 1873. By 1890 it was recognized by all of the northern states. The South refused to acknowledge the day, honoring their dead on separate days until after World War I when the holiday changed from honoring just those who died fighting in the Civil War to honoring Americans who died fighting in any war.

It is now observed in almost every state on the last Monday in May with Congressional passage of the National Holiday Act of 1971, P.L. 90 – 363. This helped ensure a three day weekend for Federal holidays, though several southern states have an additional separate day for honoring the Confederate war dead: January 19th in Texas; April 26th in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi; May 10th in South Carolina; and June 3rd (Jefferson Davis’ birthday) in Louisiana and Tennessee.
