Berks County Recorder of Deeds

This letter from the archives of the Recorder of Deeds office shows us the true meaning of Memorial Day. Take a few minutes and play the video through while you listen to the words Gold Star Mother, Della White first read upon the death of her son in 1945. Many thanks to Josh Chambers, Kutztown High School Language Arts teacher for recording this in his voice, as I have never been able to read this through aloud without choking up. Please share with your friends.

The Recorder of Deeds Office provides a free service of recording all military discharges (DD214 or equivalent) for long term safe keeping. We will also issue a free Veterans I.D. Card to all Berks County Veterans, Call us to find out more 610-478-3380.
