beyond for our community and uh our neighborhood specifically. Um he's a great guy, great great family and he's going to be missed big time. And then uh I'd be remiss if I didn't uh say that
today was a day that so many people in our community and in South Jersey, New Jersey, the United States, and the whole world that our Israeli and international hostages are home [Applause]

in this room. And um we saw firsthand the atrocities of October 7th that were committed by Hamas and Islamic Jihad and uh heard firsthand accounts. um saw the burnout Kuba team, the cars, the
bullet holes, the RPG holes. Um Nova, we were there listening to a 28-year-old teacher who survived told us graphically what went on. And it was one of the worst, I'm sure everyone,
the the three other guys here would tell you probably one of the worst uh days of our lives, but a necessary um day to bear witness to the tragedies.
Unfortunately, we had to see because there's people that still deny it happened like they always do. So, today's a great day and a very happy day. and there's a lot of tired people out there um from watching all night and into the morning. So, just wanted to say
that. >> Thank you. >> Uh our final portion is our public portion. If anyone from the public has any comments, please come forward. >> Seeing no one from the public, >> move the move to close public portion. >> Second. >> All those in favor?
