On this Memorial Day we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. This year, our tributes and commemorations have taken on a different look. The coronavirus has cancelled traditional parades and large ceremonies moving many observations online, making it a quiet day of remembrance at a time when so many lives are being lost. The rate of COVID-19 spread is slowing in New Jersey, the state is reporting 16 lives lost since yesterday. The lowest number since the start of this outbreak, but officials warn that data may be off due to a delay in reporting over this holiday weekend. 11,144 lives here have now been lost due to coronavirus-related complications.
