A living symbol of history in Hazlet! 🇺🇸🌳
​Today, as part of our Hazlet America 250th celebrations, we gathered to dedicate a Liberty Tree in honor of the 250th Anniversary of American Independence (1776–2026).
​Brought to life with Revolutionary War reenactors, local leaders, and community volunteers, the ceremony marked the unveiling of a permanent plaque honoring the courage and sacrifice of local Patriots. This tree will stand as a growing tribute to freedom and community pride for generations to come.
​Thank you to the Monmouth Chapter, New Jersey Society SAR, and everyone who joined us to celebrate today! ✨
