Voorhees Town Center saw an addition to the ways it honors veterans with a POW/MIA Chair of Honor added near the Voorhees Veterans Wall of Honor.
Jeanette Schelberg, former township clerk for Voorhees Township, helped create the Veterans Wall of Honor after a suggestion from a resident years ago. Ever since, Schelberg, also a Navy veteran herself, has sought veterans who could be placed on the wall, complete with a picture from their days in their particular branch along with applicable information on a plaque.
While attending an event in Philadelphia earlier this year, Schelberg learned of the POW/MIA Chair of Honor for the first time, an idea first created by the Rolling Thunder® Inc. Veterans Organization years ago.
Jeanette's brother Cpl. Joseph Francis Toner served in the Korean War and has been missing since November 26, 1950.
