to Honor Jack Pinto, one of the  victims of the Newtown, Connecticut

tragedy. The above photo's show the sign for Fire Fighters Park that was

found on 8th Street after the storm undamaged. The second photo shows

a sign dedicating and Celebrating the Life of Jack Pinto at the Park. The

third photo shows the monument that was placed upon the "Handprints in

the Park" memorial. The fourth photo shows NY Giants' football running

back David Wilson being escorted through the crowd of hundreds by

Public Works Administrative Assistant Mary E. Mancini as she doubles in

a security detail for the 2012 Giants #1 draft pick. The next photo shows

 2013, We Rebuild

We Pray for those who have lost their homes,

their belongings and their way of Life. We

are working to find temporary accommodations

for those who have been displaced to return to

 our Borough.  We continue to re-build the

 infrastructure of our community every day

to regain some sense of normalcy.

As we begin the year 2013, we need to

Thank all of the massive forces that were

assembled by the Emergency Management

Command Center at Borough Hall on Monday,

October 29th as Hurricane Sandy invaded the

Borough of Union Beach.

Some of them include our Emergency

 Management Command Center Officials, our

Police Department, all of our Fire Departments,

our First Aid Squad with mutual aid from our

 neighbors in Hazlet, Aberdeen, Holmdel Heavy

Rescue, Keyport, Centerville, Red Bank, etc.,

our Public Works Department, Monmouth

County Emergency Management Officials, the

 Monmouth County Sheriffs Department, etc.

All of the above and more used their vehicles

and boats to rescue hundreds from their

 homes as the storm surge invaded our

 Borough. Vehicles Lost, Lives Saved,

Our Mission.

As we begin the Year 2013,

we need to thank all of the Borough Officials,

the Volunteers from the Borough, the State

 of NJ and around the United States for

 their efforts as we restore and rebuild.

 We Love You and Thank You for Your Efforts.
