CREST HAVEN -- Four World War II Army veterans, whose ashes has rested at the Godfrey Funeral Home for many years, were interred at the Cape May County Veterans' Cemetery April 25 were buried with honors.
Those Cape May County veterans of "The Greatest Generation" who fought bravely and helped defeat the Axis powers were:
PFC Edward F. Bart
PFC Albert A. Colavito
Private James B. Davis
Cpl. Alto DuBose
Members of American Legion Morvay-Miley Post 524, Ocean City, led by Commander Bob Marzulli, carried the cremains of their veteran brothers to their final resting place, a place where others, who also fought that great war, rest in peace.
An earlier ceremony in Ocean City was attended by several hundred to honor the veterans. The cremains were then placed into a Godfrey Funeral Home hearse, driven by Sallie Godfrey, director-manager, and escorted with lights and sirens south on the Garden State Parkway, escorted by police and veteran motorcyclists to the county burial place.
Invocation and final prayers were offered by Rev. Col. (ret) Edmond J. Speitel, U.S. Army.
A three-volley salute was rendered by members of Wildwood American Legion Post 184. Then, the mournful notes of "Taps" echoed through the cemetery as the wind blew cherry blossoms over the cremains of the four soldier veterans.
