“While we can never fully repay those who have faithfully served our nation in the Armed Forces, it is our duty to show them our support and appreciation here at home,” said Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco. “This is an opportunity for the County of Bergen to express their gratitude to those who have served our nation. On behalf of the people of Bergen County, thank you to all our active duty and retired service members. We will never take for granted the sacrifices you and your families have made to protect the freedoms and liberties we all hold dear.”
“Our Nation owes a debt to our Veterans that we can never fully repay,” said Commissioner Thomas J. Sullivan. “This is just one small way to show our gratitude for the sacrifices our troops made through their service to our country. In Bergen County, we will always love, support, and honor our Veterans!”
To enjoy this opportunity, Veterans and active-duty service members must be residents of Bergen County. Veterans and active-duty service members can reserve a tee-time for up to four golfers but golfers accompanying the reservation who are not active-duty or a Veteran must pay full price. Active-duty service member and Veteran status will be confirmed over the phone upon making the reservation.
