Twp. of Washington  NJ, an award has been created to honor the memory of a U.S. special forces soldier from Bergen County who was killed last year in Afghanistan.

On Tuesday, U.S. Rep Josh Gottheimer unveiled the Fifth District Sergeant First Class Michael Goble Memorial Award, a recognition to honor North Jersey’s “unsung heroes committed to supporting military families and veterans.”

Jen Albuquerque will be joined U.S. Rep Josh Gottheimer at the State of the Union address. Jen lost her partner, Sgt. First Class Michael Goble, a Twp. of Washington native, this past December while he was serving our country in Afghanistan.

It is our duty as Americans not only to honor these men and women, but to do everything we can to fight for their surviving loved ones, to ensure they have the care they need, and the support we all owe them.

Together, by taking care of our military families, surviving loved ones, and veterans in North Jersey, continuing to work across the aisle, and fighting for change here in Congress, we can live up to our nation’s commitment to those who gave the last full measure of devotion.
