« Intriguing New York Magazine article: "A New York Times Whodunit" | Main | A marine's Memorial Day speech »
Always a nice ceremony, put together by Pat Calcutti. Around 350 attendees.
Vietnam veteran (two purple hearts) Eugene Perotta spoke briefly. He's an important Veterans representative in New York, and works closely with State Senator Greg Ball.
In the middle of the ceremony Croton H.S. student Christine Turturro sang (as she has for several past years) "Amazing Grace."

This is always a beautiful and fitting tribute to those men and women who have served our country. Their service and sacrifice will hopefully never be forgotten for it is the fragile stuff of our freedoms.
Thanks especially to the band members of CHHS, PVC, CET, Mr. Carrington, Christine Turturro, and to Dot Ferguson and Don Simons. Great to see John Sekelsy in attendance, despite health issues. Truly the greatest generation.
If you live in Croton-on-Hudson and have never attended or brought your children, why? They may well be called on to be the next "greatest generation".

All true Judith. I'm always a little disappointed by the attendance but very grateful to all those who do show up. As someone who works closely with our local vets, I know they are always grateful as well.
