Senator Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick is seeking nominations for the New York State Senate’s “Veterans Hall of Fame,” an online tribute designed to celebrate the lives of distinguished veterans from Nassau County and throughout New York State who displayed outstanding qualities in both service to their country and to their community.

“As the daughter of a Korean War veteran, I believe it is imperative to uplift those who have sacrificed so much to serve our nation with courage and honor. My district is home to veterans of several foreign conflicts, and they have had an unparalleled positive impact on our local communities. The Senate Veterans Hall of Fame is just one way to give our local veterans the respect, gratitude, and admiration that they deserve,” said Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick, who proudly represents New York’s 9th Senate District.

Senator Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick is currently accepting nominations for the 2023 inductee to represent the 9th District at a virtual ceremony in November. Nominations should include a high resolution photo, a short biography highlighting the nominee’s military service, and civilian service awards and achievements. Nominations should be emailed to canzoneri@nysenate.gov no later than August 28, 2023.

Senator Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick is also pleased to announce that she will be hosting another local ‘Veterans Hall of Fame’ in the upcoming months. Additional information regarding this separate event will be provided at a later date.
