As the government relations committee chair for the Gold Star Wives of America, Wersel has helped shed light on issues regarding financial compensation, continuing benefits for remarried military widows and overall support for survivors.
\”Surviving military spouses look to us as their link to benefit information and their voice in Congress,\” Wersel said in recent congressional testimony. \”We are the vanguards of survivor benefits, educating the public as well as elected officials on issues relating to military survivors.\” 

It\’s been an exceptional year for trout fishing in New Jersey, but the best is yet to come.
Beginning Oct. 6, more than 21,000 super-sized trout will be stocked in streams and lakes from Sussex County to Atlantic County. Those big fish, ideal water conditions, great weather and spectacular scenery combine to make autumn what many anglers agree is New Jersey\’s premier trout fishing season. 

For the fourth consecutive year, New Jersey will release statewide brook trout, brown trout and rainbow trout that each measure 14 inches to 24 inches and weigh one and a half pounds to eight pounds. Any of these fabulous fish could very well be an angler\’s once-in-a-lifetime catch.
