On Saturday, Sept. 14, American Legion Post 23 in Raritan, N.J., celebrated its 105th anniversary. To highlight that event the post decided to honor servicemembers from the post's local area. We called it "Hometown Heroes Day" and created a special “Honor Wall” to display their pictures. We inducted five local heroes.

Tech Sgt. Thomas Jay Frick, United States Air Force
Lance Cpl. Gloriana Saa, United States Marine Corps
Sgt. John Mallon IV, United States Marine Corps
