I love how lakehurst again takes a back seat to like the second annual memorial day ever in Manchester when we have been doing it here in Lakehurst for over 30 yrs. No disrespect to Manchester intended what so ever but didnt they just build the WWII memorial two yrs ago meanwhile ours has been at the lake with the names of our local vets killed in action for a very long time. Its like sayin oh ya manchester township is doing this and the manchester mayors says...oh ya and by the way almost forgot..lakehurst is having something too... Come on Greg stop putting us second to the big town all the time you get alot of your stories from Lakehurst and its bad enough our idenity is gotta be found under the manchester patch it should be the Manchester-Lakehurst Patch like they have in alot of towns in Monmouth County. I think we deserve that doesnt in reality both towns create the patch anyway with your stories. put it to a pole. As a combat vet and resident of Lakehurst Im glad both towns honor veterans I'm proud of you both and I support it 100 percent my issue is coming in second all the time with this editor.

Why wasn't Mayor Robbins asked for a comment? Sloppy

Whiting services (Fire and EMS) are also at the Lake in Lakehurst every year to lay wreaths sorry you weren't mentioned in the secondary cliff note article but we thank you very much.

thanks for the 2 pictures at the top too.

we are in the area at least.

I agree hurstain....There's no greater honor than to support and thank our vets...I also agree with you that the editor does not give Lakehurst the notoriety that it deserves. Military members have been living off base in Lakehurst for years. Where is the Manchester V.F.W. and Fleet. Oh yeah in Lakehurst. Manchester is a great community; however its not Lakehurst...Thanks for giving this community a back seat ride again.

Doesn't the editor live in Lakehurst?

Thanks for your thoughts. I publish numerous stories involving Lakehurst throughout the month, despite my primary task being the coverage of Manchester. I attend every Lakehurst Borough Council meeting and make every effort to highlight events and news in Lakehurst.

If you'd like to see more discussion of the borough, please feel free to add your voice to our site. Readers are welcome to blog — more info is here: http://manchester-nj.patch.com/blog/apply

Very well said. I'm a resident of 35 years and am proud of our vets. I hate to say this but I like alot of my friends will be getting my info from the Manchester Times or A.P.P. This is my last visit to the Patch...

Good to know your primary task is to cover news in Manchester have fun floating your quota of news there because I think Lakehurst shouldn't give you any stories anymore Kyriakakis. There should be equal media coverage with our events since we do have alot of them in our community. And without saying its obvious we are not your primary responsiblity and just a buffer between your stories in the township. The article above is a obvious careless lopsided coverage of the memorial day events good work at least your honest and its good to know that we really are secondary to Manchesters events according to you. Have fun at Manchesters 4th of July event. Oh yeah there isnt one. I bet you get equal amount of readers from Lakehurst as you do in Manchester so seeing this will probably turn them off as well nice to know we are just the minority. This is also my families and I last visit to your site... total turn off we are also going back to the APP and the Times were we at least get the space we deserve.

I wonder what the main editors in the Office in NYC will think of this. Lakehurst is on the map everwhere Im sure they will have no problem finding it.

My point is that I enjoy covering Lakehurst and I make every effort to do so. I covered Lakehurst's Fourth of July Celebration and Memorial Day commemoration at Lake Horicon last year. I'm at every borough council meeting and write about what happens there. Did you catch the article just a few days ago that I wrote about the summer farmers market at the lake? I hardly think it's fair to say that Lakehurst isn't given a fair amount of coverage by Patch.

We always take a back seat is the point greg you said it yourself. We are sick of it and of all things on memorial day. Lakehurst is a town with the most military history I feel in the county and has always celebrated our holidays on the day they are supposed to be celebrated. Putting our events in a cliff note version compaired to Manchesters second annual memorial day service is wrong. And to call us the surrounding area...awesome too thanks. Yes you cover the stories but you selectively place them in here and when a non-note worthy "Primary responsibility" story comes along in Manchester like a class on type writer maintenance at village 4 in crestwood that seems to take priority. It stinks! I think your coverage should be equally based. By the way yes you did cover the 4th in town last year because they dont do it in Manchester...why? Why dont you ask Fressola you seem to have his number directly. "Fair amount" is the same as saying minimal or when you can.

Yes you do the stories like the farmers market because as mentioned above they dont have those things like that in Manchester gotta make a quota somewere Kyriakakis. We need the Lakehurst Patch this sight is garbage anymore...maybe to balance the scale our editor should live in Manchester. Another reader from lakehurst on my last patch view!!

its the "Manchester Patch"!

By the way people...before you accuse the editor...try reading yesterday's article which had coverage/photos of the ceremony in Lakehurst
