Services Held for WW II Veterans Living in All State Nursing Homes
Governor Andrew Cuomo today announced a special day of commemoration of
military service featuring World War II Veterans and their families
residing in all five of New York State's Veterans' Homes. In honor and
recognition of the 75th Anniversary of D-Day and OPERATION OVERLORD, the
largest amphibious operation in military history, the Governor declared
June 6, 2019, as "Salute to World War II Military Service Day" across
New York.
"On the 75th Anniversary of D-Day I want to offer a
sincere thank you to all our veterans and their families for their
sacrifice and service to protect our freedoms," Governor Cuomo said. "I
urge all New Yorkers to join me as we honor the courageous service
members who risked everything on D-Day when 160,000 American and allied
troops landed on the beaches of Normandy and turned the tide of the war
and the course of history forever. For those we lost and the veterans
who made it home, thank you. We owe you a debt of gratitude that can
never be repaid."
