Senator Bonacic Invites Nominees for Veterans Hall of Fame Honor

Senator John Bonacic (R/C/I – Mt. Hope), today invited local residents to nominate veterans from their community whose service on behalf of our nation merits their inclusion in the New York State Veterans Hall of Fame. 

This on-line Hall of Fame is designed to pay tribute to New Yorkers whose service in the U.S. Armed Forces is complemented by their service to the community. 

“The Senate takes this opportunity to honor the brave men and women who serve our nation and protect our freedom as members of the military,” said Senator Bonacic.  “The Senate Veterans Hall of Fame pays tribute to all who serve, but also singles out for special recognition those whose sacrifices and service have helped make our nation and our community better places to live.” 

The Senate will honor a distinguished veteran from our area and throughout the state at a June 14^th Albany ceremony, where each honoree’s photograph and biography will become part of a special on-line exhibit proclaiming the contributions of these exemplary New York Veterans. 

The New York State Senate Veterans' Hall of Fame was created to honor and recognize outstanding veterans from the Empire State who have distinguished themselves both in military and civilian life. Their meritorious service to our nation deserves the special recognition that only a Hall of Fame can provide, as a fitting expression of our gratitude and admiration.  

Those wishing to nominate a veteran should email JillianDeuel@gmail.com with their nominee suggestion and information about the veteran.
