They are varying faces from different eras with some things in common. They fought for our country and hail from Sussex County.
"These are everyday people from all walks of life and we have them to thank for our liberties," said Connie Martinez of the Newton Post Office.
Martinez has spearheaded efforts to honor our soldiers serving overseas over the last five years and has started a new annual tradition for the post office.
In conjunction with Veteran's Day, Martinez asked locals to submit pictures of area veterans. She created two large displays lined with photographs and accolades in honor and memory of Sussex County's veterans. She interspersed the photographs with prose, memorabilia, flags and awards. The awards on display belong to her son Jason, who recently returned from active duty and is now with the National Guard.
Martinez plans to keep the display up for two months annually, and to add photos annually.
"It's important to be aware that there's a mother, father, brother or sister walking among us, who we could be passing on the street," she said. "They could be the reason why we're here."
In addition, the employees of the post office have begun their 2009 "Treats for Troops" campaign.
Through December 9, they will be collecting items including cards, candy, hand-held games, books, hot chocolate and hot cider packs and travel-size toiletries.
Additional drives for items for the troops are done throughout the year.
At the post office there is also the "Wall of Honor", which are submitted photos of those currently serving.
In summing up all of her efforts in honoring and remembering the troops, Martinez quotes British Statesman George Canning, "When our perils are past, shall our gratitude sleep?"

15 German foreign exchange students participated in a walking tour of the historic district in Newton last Thursday. Newton High School German teacher, Petra Hannig-Eisenberger, selected the teens for the program from her hometown high school, Heimschule St. Landolin, in Ettenheim. The students, accompanied by their teachers Thomas Brossmer and Birgit Walz, listened to a brief overview in the classroom before setting out on foot for the tour. Presented by Wayne McCabe, county historian, the tour featured many historical homes, families, and businesses and their roles in shaping Newton as we know it today. Stopping several times along the way, the tour route began on Main St., turned onto Spring St., and ended inside Town Hall. Along with learning the history of the town, the students had many opportunities to ask questions and take plenty of pictures. The students are here for two weeks, then will travel by train to New York City and continue on to Washington D.C. for an additional week.
