By Toni-Elena Gallo
On Monday, Nov. 11, local veterans were honored at a moving ceremony at Setauket Veterans Memorial Park.
Hosted by VFW Post 3054, the event began with a rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” immediately followed by a wreath-laying ceremony. Brightly colored arrangements were placed near the commemorative monuments of those who lost their lives in both world wars, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Family members of servicemen and women, Boy Scouts and other dignitaries including Suffolk County Legislator Steven Englebright and Town of Brookhaven Councilmember Jonathan Kornreich (D-Stony Brook) participated in the ceremony.
The event concluded with a three-volley salute by current members of the U.S. military.
