Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand to Speak at Greenburgh Veterans Day Ceremony

United States Senator Kirsten Gillibrand will be the keynote speaker at Greenburgh’s annual Veterans Day ceremony at DeSanti Park, across from the Hartsdale train station, Wednesday, Nov. 11, at 2 p.m.

Sen. Gillibrand, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has been a vocal advocate for strengthening America’s armed services, national security and military readiness, according to Town Supervisor Paul Feiner.

The park is scheduled to be enhanced next year and turned into a Veterans Memorial Park, honoring the contributions of the town’s local heroes. The Town Board authorized the release of non- taxpayer dollars to create a Veterans Memorial park at this location earlier this year, accoring to Feiner. Construction is scheduled to be completed in 2016.

Additionally, Greenburgh will continue its tradition of broadcasting the living history interviews of approximately 150 veterans. These interviews of the veterans, each about 30 minutes long, will air on public access TV from Tuesday night, Nov. 10, beginning at 9:30 p.m. to Thursday morning, and Friday night, Nov. 13, to Monday morning, Nov. 16, on channels 76 (Cablevision) and 35 (Verizon Fios).

The living history interviews are aired non- stop on public access TV every Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day and on weekends close to these days.
