Senate Majority Leader Dean G. Skelos Invites Nominees for Veteran’s Hall of Fame Honor

Senate Majority Leader Dean G. Skelos today invited local residents to nominate veterans from their community whose service on behalf of our nation designates them worthy of induction into the New York State Veteran’s Hall of Fame.

This on-line Hall of Fame is designed to pay tribute to New Yorkers whose gallantry 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 Skelos.  “The Senate Veteran’s 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 May 22^nd  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 Veteran’s 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. Nomination forms can be found below or can be requested by calling Senator Skelos' office at 516-766-8383.
