CAPE MAY – Join the Friends of the World War II Tower, an affinity group of the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities (MAC), during the Second Annual Veterans Day Salute program at the Cape May Lutheran Church, 509 Pittsburgh Ave., on Nov. 18 at 2 p.m.
This year’s program features local firearms expert Dr. Thomas Foster, who will display and discuss a variety of firearms, with emphasis on those of World War II. This will be followed by a sound and sight presentation of American patriotic music by MAC Museum Educator Rich Chiemingo.
Admission to the program is free for Friends of the Tower and $5 for members of the public. Join the Friends of the Tower at the door and admission is free. Adults are asked to bring a young person with them so the group can advance one of its primary goals, which is developing in the younger generation an understanding and appreciation of not only Cape May’s important role in World War II, but of the traits of patriotism, loyalty, and self-sacrifice so characteristic of the people of these war years. Upcoming Friends of the World War II Lookout Tower events will be previewed and light refreshments will be served. Join the Friends of the World War II Lookout Tower and help plan and attend future exciting programs.
The World War II Lookout Tower, located on Sunset Boulevard, was used for spotting enemy ships during World War II and aiming guns for nearby coastal artillery fortifications. MAC restored the tower in 2008-09 and opened it to the public in April, 2009. Family members can honor loved ones through memorial plaques mounted permanently at the site. An All Veterans Memorial was dedicated at the Tower on May 19, 2012, open throughout the year for quiet contemplation.
