From NJNews.com: Morristown park renamed for WWII veteran Bob Tracey
MORRISTOWN — Bob Tracey has spent much of his adult life honoring memories. Tuesday night, his hometown recognized his efforts and honored him.
The Morristown council passed a resolution to rename Veterans Park, at Madison Avenue and South Street, J. Robert Tracey Veterans Memorial Park.
Tracey, 85, served in the Navy during World War II and the Army during the Korean War. This Veterans Day will mark the 60th that he has headed to Morristown Green to honor fellow soldiers and urge his fellow citizens to remember their sacrifice.
He said he was thrilled to learn that the council had renamed the park in his honor.
"I was ecstatic," he said. "It’s something to be alive and have a piece of land named after you in the town you love."
