SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Late Tuesday afternoon in Scranton, the Ancient Order of Hibernians Paul “Hook” O’Malley Division Four held a memorial service in Courthouse Square.
The members laid a wreath at the Congressional Medal of Honor Recipients’ Memorial.
Retired judge and Veterans Views host Tom Munley served as the speaker.
Judge Munley was honored as Man of the Year by the group over the weekend.
“There is nobody who could be a better Man of the Year, and he is a veteran’s veteran because even though he did his combat in 1969. He has never not been helping, whether retired or not, not only veterans, his fellow human beings. He is a great man,” Pat O’Malley with the Ancient Order of Hibernation Paul “Hook” O`Malley Division Four explained.
They will be part of Saturday’s parade.
