The ceremony on May 18th will take place at the grave of Marion VanOrkey, an Allentown, NJ native who was a member of the Battalion and whose story prompted The Allentown Village Initiative (TAVI) to seek passage of a bill designating every May 18th as "Six Triple Eight Day" in New Jersey. Ms. VanOrkey rests in Allentown Methodist Cemetery, located at the corner of Hamilton & Broad Streets in Allentown, NJ. She was born on May 18, 1914.
