Honoring Hudson Valley Veterans This Holiday Season

The Town of Fishkill Police Department is asking the Hudson Valley community to come together to honor local veterans who are laid to rest at cemeteries in Fishkill and Poughkeepsie. They write

The brave veterans of our nation sacrificed to ensure our freedom. While we can never truly repay them for that gift, we can at least show our appreciation to them and their families with a meaningful gesture. Remember the Fallen. . . Honor those who Served.... and teach our young people the value of Freedoms.

To do so, Wreaths Across America will make a stop in the Hudson Valley this holiday season. Wreaths Across America is an organization thats mission is to simply "Remember the fallen. Honor those who serve. Teach the next generation the value of freedom."

Wreaths Across America relies on their volunteer program year-round to "share this important mission and inspire others to join."
