The Cranford 86 Project

Remembering the 86 men from Cranford who died serving our nation.

Memorial Day is about much more than backyard barbecues, the first shore weekend or the unofficial start of summer. It’s a day to remember those who gave their lives in service to our nation during its many conflicts.

There have been 86 Cranford men who have died during those wars and Don Sweeney started a project to tell the story of each of those individuals so that their legacy is remembered for generations to come.

In this week’s Cranford Radio podcast, Don talks about the Cranford 86 Project, how it got started and some of the challenges he and his partners have faced in telling those stories.
