Dear Veterans, Friends and Families:
Welcome to the annual Veterans’ Hall of Fame Ceremony. It is with a great sense of pride and admiration that we in the New York State Senate are once again honoring and recognizing outstanding veterans from the Empire State who have distinguished themselves both in military and civilian life.The veterans gathered here today have given their lives to a cause greater than themselves, and in doing so, have protected our country and way of life. Today we honor these heroic New Yorkers whom we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude. Their past bravery in military endeavors has helped shape the American landscape- a country of strength, freedom and diverse beauty.Many of those here today have also helped extensively in their communities. These are not only veterans, but community organizers, teachers, small business owners, police officers, firefighters, emergency personnel and first responders.Finally, as we pay homage to all the veterans, let us not forget the families – fathers, mothers, daughters and sons – who also participated in the rich tradition of military life. Thank you all for your laudable service to our nation.
