CAMDEN, N.J. (WPVI) -- Eight Camden County veterans were recognized on Wednesday for their service and sacrifices made for our country.
A ceremony was held in the shadow of the large guns on board the USS New Jersey on the Camden waterfront.
Medals were awarded to Raymond Adkisson, Michael Brown, Anthony Costigan, Joseph Gould, Donald Hill, Robert Holmes, Edwin Johnson, and Lorren Kay.
County commissioners say the ceremony is just a small way for the community to show appreciation for these brave men and women.
