(continued from page 4) pilots, one of them the first Ridgewood man to die in the war, were killed during training when their French-built SPAD fighters crashed. One sailor was killed by “friendly fire” off the coast of Long Island. Another young man, enrolled in an officer training program, died of influenza after the war had ended. All deserved recognition for their willingness to serve, veterans and council members agreed, and they hope that the new plaque and the dedication ceremony will be memorable. The American Legion has requested a color guard from the United States Military Academy at West Point, and hopes for a military band and a large turnout for the ceremony on Nov. 11 when the plaque is dedicated to the American dead of “the war to end war.”

ECF representatives are available to discuss our programs at your next fundraiser or event. If you have a few hours a week to spare, consider becoming a volunteer, or just stop by and meet with us, take a look at our pantry, and see what ECF is all about. Call (201) 6128118 before you stop by. Please do not leave items at the center without checking with us first. Our storage space is limited. The Northern Regional Center is located at 174 Paterson Avenue, Midland Park, NJ 07432. Visit us on the web at www.emmanuelcancer.org.
