From Westchester County

The Westchester County Veterans Service Agency, in conjunction with the Veterans Advisory Board, will be updating the Korean War Veterans Monument at Lasdon Park in Somers.

County Executive Rob Astorino urges anyone with information regarding a Westchester resident who died in the Korean War and whose name does not currently appear on the monument to contact Vito Pinto, head of Westchester’s Veterans Service Agency, at(914) 995-2145 or (914) 995-2146.

“It’s vitally important to the residents of Westchester County that we remember all those who die in defense of our country,” Pinto said. “I urge everyone who may know of a serviceman killed during the Korean War to review the list of names on the Korean War Veterans Monument and to let me know immediately if someone is missing.”
