Montgomery remembers the sacrifice
Continued from page 1
“Liberty and those that defend our
liberty form an immovable bond of peace,”
Winchell said. “Our villages, our towns
live in peace because of you. Veterans are
a living national treasure for me.”
Some veterans make the ultimate
sacrifice, giving their lives in defense of
our country. Others bear the scars of the
battlefield.
“Some gave all, gave up the two lives,
one they were living, and one they would
have lived as husbands, fathers and
grandfathers,” Winchell said. “The ones
that came home with visible and invisible
wounds of war were called veterans.”
U.S. Navy veteran John Olsen, Jr.,
gave a short speech on the Veterans
Honor Flight, a program that flies WWII,
Vietnam and Korean War veterans to their
respective monuments in Washington,
D.C., free of charge. Olsen said his father,
a WWII veteran, took the Honor Flight at
age 85.
“That was one of the proudest moments
he has ever had in his life,” Olsen said.
Olsen urged people to either sponsor
a veteran or support the veterans as
they leave or arrive. A crowd of people
and community organizations escort the
veterans as they leave for the airport or
arrive home.
Orange County Legislator Mike
Anagnostakis and New York State Senator
James Skoufis said veterans should be
celebrated every day, and promised to
enact policies that would help veterans,
who sometimes struggle with poverty,
homelessness and health issues.
Anagnostakis said he has defended
veterans’ housing rights and bus routes,
and provided funding for the Orange

county veterans memorial cemetery.
“I’ll continue to fight for veterans
because I sure as hell know that they
fought for me,” Anagnostakis said.
The ceremony also included a military
medley, played by the Maybrook Boy Scout
Band. Jessica Nelson sang “America the
Beautiful.”
The Maybrook VFW performed a 21-gun
salute while a member of the Boy Scout
band performed “Taps.” Olsen placed
a wreath at the Town of Montgomery
Veterans monument.
Colleen Schneider was presented
with the Citizens of the Year award
and Walt Schneider was presented with
Legionnaire of the Year.
The ceremony was conducted by the
American Legion, AmVets, and VFW

Before the ceremony concluded, the
announcer asked if any World War II
veterans were present. Tony Marano
stepped forward and waved to the crowd.
During WWII, Marano served as a
radioman in B-24 Liberator planes in the
Pacific Ocean. He said it was a great
honor for all veterans to be recognized on
Veterans Day.
Marano recently celebrated his 94
birthday. In an American flag sweater
and a brown VFW hat, he smiles broadly,
shaking the hands of friends and well-
wishers.
“I’m just happy to be here,” Marano
said.
