We conduct the Stand Down of South Jersey every year at the Cherry Hill National Guard Armory which was founded by SFC Robert H. Yancey, Sr. This event is typically held on the fourth Friday of September. The  event is staffed entirely by volunteers and in 2024 we had more than 200 volunteers. We hosted 160 Veterans in 2024 (17 Female and 143 male). The New Jersey National Guard provides building security and personnel to assist with setting up for the event. The New Jersey 177th Air Guard provides medical personnel to augment the nearly 75 Veterans Administration personnel. The Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (NJ DMAVA) provides use of the National Guard Armory building, transportation for veterans from Mercer County and administrative support.
