2019 Memorial Day Guide

Veterans

Every year, we pause to honor the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice defending this great nation and our cherished way of life. Their selfless acts of courage protect the rights and freedoms we enjoy as Americans, and their memories will forever be in our hearts and minds.

In recognition of Memorial Day, it is my hope that each of us can devote some time to pay tribute to these fallen heroes and to let their families know that their sacrifice is remembered.

For your convenience, my website (flanagan.nysenate.gov) has a special Memorial Day section with a listing of all parades and observations in our area.

Thank you for giving recognition to our brave service men and women, and may God bless the United States of America.

Senator John Flanagan
