Hillsborough Singers Create Memorial Day Tribute Video

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Lend-A-Voice, a Hillsborough-based volunteer singing group, have created a Memorial Day Tribute video for all those who have served or are currently serving.

Kelly Irwin and her friend Elena Waddleton of Hillsborough started the group this past winter where they began singing at the Bridgeway Nursing Home.

"We had tried during quarantine to contact local nursing homes to send out a video of us singing, however it was difficult as many residents are being quarantined in their rooms. We wanted to still be able to sing for others and show our appreciation towards them," Irwin said.

That's when they the idea to make the tribute video came to light. The video features the group singing a collection of patriotic songs including "This Land Is Your Land," "Star Spangled Banner," "My Country Tis of Thee," "America The Beautiful," "God Bless America," and "Born in the USA."

The singers of the group include Irwin, Waddleton, Caitlin Schwartz, Sabrina Schubert, Julia Parks, and Matthew Conlon.

Since releasing the video they already have more than 500 views. Check out the video below:
