On Memorial Day, our nation will join together to honor the members of our military who have made the ultimate sacrifice protecting our freedoms. Brave men and women from across our country are the very reason we enjoy the lives we lead and it is important that we honor their service and sacrifice.
Throughout the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, many of our communities will pay tribute by hosting parades and ceremonies. Please take some time during this weekend to participate in one of the many events to remember those we have lost as well as the sacrifice of the family members who survive them.
I was pleased to recently join the New York State Senate in honoring this year's inductees to our Veterans' Hall of Fame. To read more about the ceremony and the brave men and women that were inducted, click here.
Please have a safe Memorial Day and God Bless America.
