🦅🌎⚓𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐘 𝟐𝟓𝟏𝐒𝐓 𝐁𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐏𝐒!

❤️Today, the 𝑪𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝑨𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒆𝒏 proudly joins our nation in celebrating 251 years of honor, courage, commitment, and faithful service by the 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝘀.

💛Born at Tun Tavern, in Philadelphia, on November 10, 1775, the 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝘀 has built an extraordinary legacy of defending our nation, protecting our freedoms, and answering the call to serve whenever and wherever duty demands.

The opening words of the beloved 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀’ Hymn remind us of that proud history:

🎶 “From the Halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli…”🌊

🪖From the Mediterranean Sea and the battlefields of the Mexican-American War, to the historic black sands of Iwo Jima, the frozen hills of Korea, the jungles of Vietnam, and the deserts of the Middle East, generations of 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 have stood ready to defend our nation. 🥾

For more than two and a half centuries, the 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝘀 has upheld an extraordinary tradition of sacrifice, unwavering devotion to duty, and service to our nation. ⭐

Whether serving on land, at sea, or in the air, 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 embody the principles that define their legacy: HONOR, COURAGE, and COMMITMENT. ❤️🤍💙

Today, we proudly recognize and thank all 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀, past and present, while recognizing the families who stand behind them, whose strength, patience, and sacrifices are an important part of the 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝘀 legacy. 🦅🌎⚓

💪To every man and woman who has earned the distinguished title of 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲, we offer our deepest gratitude, admiration, and respect.💪

❤️𝕊𝕖𝕞𝕡𝕖𝕣 𝔽𝕚𝕕𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕤 — 𝔸𝕝𝕨𝕒𝕪𝕤 𝔽𝕒𝕚𝕥𝕙𝕗𝕦𝕝!💛

From the 𝑪𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝑨𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒆𝒏 Happy 251st Birthday, 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝘀!

🚒👻 𝑩𝒊𝒈 𝑺𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒔 & 𝑭𝒖𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒐𝒆𝒔! 🚓🍬

The 𝗔𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗸 𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 on Thursday, October 29th, was a HUGE success!

School Resource Officers, Senior Officers Baust and McMeekin, had a fantastic time connecting with families, handing out treats, and enjoying all the creative costumes! 🎃

🚔🚒 We may have even spotted a few future first responders in the crowd! From pint-sized police officers to little firefighters, the next generation of public safety was looking sharp!

Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make this a fun-filled community event. We love seeing our officers connect with the families they serve!

Building relationships, one smile (and one piece of candy!) at a time! 🍬💙

🕰️ 𝕀𝕥'𝕤 𝕎𝕒𝕪𝕓𝕒𝕔𝕜 𝕎𝕙𝕖𝕟𝕤𝕕𝕒𝕪 | Introducing “𝑩𝒍𝒖𝒆 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒔”! 🍽️

There’s a lot of history served up right here in 𝑨𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒆𝒏! 🍳🥣

Today, we’re excited to kick off a new Wayback Whensday feature called “𝑩𝒍𝒖𝒆 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒔” — a series celebrating the historic diners, restaurants, and eateries that have helped make our town what it is today.

Some are long gone, some have changed names, and some are still serving up memories and meals right here in 𝑨𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒆𝒏! 🍽️☕

And what better place to start than with one of our town's most beloved landmarks — the 𝘼𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝘿𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙧! 💙

🏆First, a little present-day recognition and a huge congratulations - as the 𝘼𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝘿𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙧 was recently voted 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘆 for 2026, based on Google reviews! And in 2027, the diner will celebrate a special milestone — 10 years since John and Shari Richick reopened this beloved local spot.

🕰️But the diner's history goes back much further than that!

📍 Did you know? The original 𝘼𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝘿𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙧 dates back to around 1921!

That's right! The location where today's 7-Eleven stands at 602 S. Philadelphia Blvd. was once home to the original 𝘼𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝘿𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙧. That makes 2026 the diner's 105th anniversary!

📍 And what about the current diner location at 527 S. Philadelphia Blvd.?

Before today's 𝘼𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝘿𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙧, the site was home to the Shamrock Diner ☘️, built in 1960. An instant success, the Shamrock eventually became the popular Cloverleaf Diner 🍀, which served as a mainstay in 𝑨𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒆𝒏 for many years before being sold.

Over the years, the location also carried the names Gold Star Diner ⭐and later Aberdeen Eagle Diner 🦅. When John and Shari Richick reopened the restaurant in 2017, they chose the name 𝘼𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝘿𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙧 — honoring our town and keeping 𝑨𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒆𝒏'𝒔 name proudly displayed on this local gathering place.

From the original diner of 1921 to the Shamrock, Cloverleaf, Gold Star, Aberdeen Eagle, and today's 𝘼𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝘿𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙧, there's more than a century of local history behind that familiar sign!

🥣That's what 𝑩𝒍𝒖𝒆 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒔 is all about — celebrating the places, people, and memories that have brought our community together, one meal at a time.

🍳 Did you eat at the Shamrock or Cloverleaf Diner? Remember the Gold Star or Aberdeen Eagle? Do you have old photographs, menus, or memories of these places?

We'd love to hear your stories! Share them in the comments. You might even see them featured in a future 𝑩𝒍𝒖𝒆 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒔! 💙🍽️

Stay tuned each Wednesday as we serve up another helping of 𝑨𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒆𝒏'𝒔 restaurant and dining history! 🍳☕💙🍽️

❤️🤍💙 𝑵𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒔 𝑴𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝑭𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒚 𝑨𝒑𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒉!

Behind every service member is a family making sacrifices of their own.

The missed holidays and milestones. The long stretches of loneliness and solo parenting. The children who learn to adapt to new schools, new homes, and new communities. The countless goodbyes, the difficult see-you-laters, and the strength it takes to build a home wherever military life takes them.

Military families serve, too, often in ways the world doesn't see.

This November, the 𝑪𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝑨𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒆𝒏 proudly recognizes and honors the military families in our community and across our nation. Thank you for your strength, resilience, sacrifices, and unwavering support of those who serve.

We see you. We appreciate you. And we thank you for all you do. ❤️🤍💙
