TOMS RIVER — The U.S. Marine flag once again flies beside the home of Michael and Audrey Gavala Jr. of the Ortley Beach section of the township.
The Gavalas’ two-story home at 207 Third Ave. was severely damaged during superstorm Sandy. Michael J. Gavala, 76, served in the Marines from 1956 to 1959. He and his wife Audrey, 74, lived in the home for 52 years.
A flag-raising ceremony Wednesday afternoon served to not only celebrate their return home after Sandy, but honored the volunteers who made that return possible. Watch the video above to see some of the ceremony.
