  • Jersey Shore

Atlantic City will celebrate veterans, heritage and history as it marks 100 years of the All Wars Memorial Building on Friday.

The building at 1510 Adriatic Ave. was dedicated in August 1925, as the Soldiers Home.

Several events have been held in honor of the centennial year, with veterans and their families answering the call to send photos and/or share stories from the home over the years.

The celebration culminates with the celebration beginning at 5 p.m.

It is free to the public with music, food and a special guest speaker.

Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small will be there along with City Council Vice President Kaleem Shabazz and others.
