Freeholder Burry salutes American women in keynote speech

COLTS NECK TOWNSHIP -- Freeholder Lillian Burry attributes her success in buisness and politics to the generations of American women who came before her.

"I've been able to achieve my goals because I stand on the shoulders of American women who have helped me shape my life," she said during a celebration of Women's History Month, held March 29 in the Chapel at Naval Weapons Station Earle. "As we honor Women's History Month, we pay homage to the women who came before us, and we hold the torch high for all those who will follow."

Burry, deputy director of the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders, was keynote speaker at the celebration, titled "Generations of Women Moving Forward in History."
