Special Request: Some folks from the area are currently serving in in Iraq. But who are they? Please let us know, so that we might do something to Support our Troops in Iraq Sixty-eight (68) soldiers from New Jersey communities just like ours have died in Iraq so far, hundreds have been wounded, thousands have served... 3902 American Soldiers have been killed to date - since this war began in March of 2003. Source: Iraq Casulties.org (as of Dec 31, 2007) And, by the way, many tens of thousands of Iraqis have also died in this war to date according to reports by the BBC These soldiers - men and women of our communities - are risking their lives, being wounded in battle and dying for us - in an increasingly unpopular war. What are we doing for them? To our Local Veterans who have served or are serving or will be serving in Iraq: We'd
like
to create
a section of this
website as a service to you and your families. - a place where you can leave messages, send photos,
tell us your story
of your own personal experiences in Iraq - if you want to.
At least tell us who you are, your branch and unit, and/or where you are serving. We can give you an email address - sgt.[yourname]@Frenchtown.com - just ask and verify your service and we can set it up for you in a day. If you want to upload pictures or build your own web pages, let us know and we'll set up ftp access for you to your own directory Please contact the webmaster, Vietnam Veteran Alan Runfeldt, and tell us whatever you can - or want to - about our Frenchtown area men and women who have served or are serving or will be serving our country in Iraq. As soon as we can, we'll be posting a message board for our website visitors to leave messages for the troops who are away from home and in harm's way in service to their country. Also, if you are a soldier, or wish to support the soldiers in an effective and unique way, please visit this website: ANY SOLDIER DOT-COM You, and some soldier in Iraq will be glad you did. Sponsored for our troops by the Vietnam Veterans of http://8thmob.org A Soldier in Need of our Moral Support Jose Perez Audie Murphy Hospital Spinal Cord Injury Unit GLB DO26BEDA 7400 Merton Minter Blvd San Antonio Tx 78229 Please send a message - a post card, a get-well card, a letter - to this wounded serviceman who lost his physical mobility as a result of injuries sustained while serving with the US Marines in Iraq.

| Heard
around town: A B&B visitor: "It's very refreshing to be here." A local business owner: "We like Frenchtown just like it is.." |
| The
photo montage at the top of the page
represents
various aspects of our charming community, beginning, top left, with
the
famous image of the "Race Street Corner" with the old buildings freshly
painted in a bright burnt-orange which seems to suit the location.
Looks
great in spring when the local shopkeepers and artists put out flowers
all around.
To the right, you see a portion of our famous "Frenchtown-Uhlerstown Bridge" built years and years ago to replace the old ferry run by Mr. Sherrod in the 1700's. It was a covered bridge until it was partially washed away in the floods of 1913. You can see a neat old photo of the covered bridge - after the flood - in the Frenchtown Cafe, on Bridge Street - just a few steps away from the Race Street Corner. To the right of the bridge, you see folks out for a stroll along one of the many hiking trails in the area. The old railroad right-of-way along the river is now a hiking and biking path enoyed by residents and visitors all seasons of the year. The white buildings on the bottom are a home, the local Library and Municipal Building and one of Frenchtown's lovely churches. This architectural style is what gives Frenchtown a bit of a "New England" look and charm. Finally, on the bottom left, you will see some folks strolling past one of the many antique and gift shops which attract many visitors to Frenchtown. And,
although we have many excellent restaurants and cafés, "Yes,
we have no MacDonalds!" In fact, you might say that our mission statement, simply
put is to "Protect the Quaintness of Frenchtown". Welcome to Frenchtown. Now, come on in to our website. |
