Dutchess County To Commemorate Memorial Day In Poughkeepsie

DUTCHESS COUNTY, NY — Dutchess County will host a Memorial Day Ceremony at 11 a.m. Monday.

Organizers said the ceremony will take place at the Dutchess County War Memorial at the intersection of Raymond Avenue and Main Street in Poughkeepsie.

The event will gather local veterans from several eras and include an invocation, benediction, presentation of colors, remarks and a wreath presentation by state Senator Sue Serino.

A representative from the U.S.S. Roosevelt, the adopted ship of Dutchess County, will offer remarks as well. Sailors from the ship will be in attendance alongside residents to reflect on the sacrifice of military heroes.

County Executive Marc Molinaro said Memorial Day is a day of utmost importance.

"On this day we need to stop and recognize the men and women that made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation," he said.
