Sunday I attended the unveiling of the new Veterans monument in Nevada County. The monument is dedicated to all Nevada countians who have served in the military and honors their committment to our country. Congressman Mike Ross gave the keynote address to a good crowd of supporters gathered on the Nevada County courthouse lawn. Special thanks to Leadership Nevada County for undertaking the monument project and seeing it through. It provides a lasting reminder of all the sacrifices by our service men and women, along with their families, in keeping our freedoms intact.
A ceremony to honor our Veterans in Hempstead County was held on Monday at the courthouse. This holiday honors the true heroes in our community, and it is a special pleasure for me to visit with those WW II vets in attendance, and just say thank you to the perfectly named "greatest generation". We can never thank them enough.
