the decoration of the graves of the town ’ s veterans in six cemeteries , using over 600 American flags . This is a mission that the Post has completed every year for 98 years .

The ceremony in Montgomery was conducted by veterans groups from the three villages of the Town of Montgomery ( Walden , Maybrook and Montgomery ) including the American Legion , AmVets , and VFW Posts of Maybrook , Montgomery and Walden . Boy Scouts from Troops 31 and 386 were also on hand , including three Eagle Scouts .

Colleen Schneider leads the crowd in “ America the Beautiful .”

In addition to a short parade , the ceremony included a 21-gun salute and the placement of a wreath at the Town of Montgomery Veterans monument in front of the Town Hall by John Olsen , of Boy Scout Troop 31 .

While a part of the ceremony each year is designated for the recognition of World War II veterans in the audience , this year there were none — and only a handful of other veterans present .

Dempsey explained that every day their numbers are dwindling .

“ I will always remember every single one of them that gave their lives ,” said Anagnostakis , stating that over the course of America ’ s history , over 1.3 million soldiers have fought and died , giving their all so that others could enjoy freedom . “ God bless them and God bless the United States of America .”

As stated simply in the Town of Montgomery Memorial Day program : “ Honor the fallen . Support our troops . Remember the veterans . God Bless America .”
