Veterans Day 2012: Free Salute to Veterans Concert

Admission fee scrapped in wake of Hurricane Sandy, nor'easter.

After a really tough couple of weeks, Rocklanders will get a break if they want to attend the 16th annual "Salute To Our Veterans" concert at Ramapo High School for Veterans Day 2012.

Ramapo town Supervisor Christopher P. St. Lawrence said there will be no admission fee for the Veterans Day show that is sponsored by the Town of Ramapo and The Jewish War Veterans.

“Given the hardship that local residents have experienced during the past few weeks, we thought that it would be appropriate to waive the admission fee,” said St. Lawrence.
