🌟 THANK YOU FROM THE SULLIVAN COUNTY VETERANS COALITION 🌟

Yesterday was truly a day to remember. Our 4th Annual Sullivan County Veterans Festival & Stand Down at SUNY Sullivan brought together Veterans, families, and our community in a powerful way.

🇺🇸 Old Glory was raised high thanks to the Fallsburg & Liberty Fire Departments and the coordination by our very own Chris Sutowski.

🙏 Thank you to Chaplain Jim Kaufman for offering the benediction and to Lou Setrin for a heartfelt rendition of the National Anthem.

🎶 Huge gratitude to Derek Stoner and Jesse Noren for filling the Fieldhouse with music. Derek, your unique sound rooted in service continues to inspire. Jesse, your heart for this community shines every year.

🤝 We were honored to be joined by Congressman Josh Riley, who shared words of support and spent time connecting directly with our Veterans. His presence underscored the importance of community, recognition, and advocacy for those who served.

🎪 A special thank you to our vendors and community partners who came out to serve our Veterans with resources, information, patriotic crafts, delicious cookies, free haircuts, and more. Each of you helped create a space where Veterans felt supported, honored, and cared for.

🎖️ Veterans walked away with surplus gear thanks to the efforts of Steve Walsh, Vet2Vet, and the surplus team of volunteers.

🍔 Thank you to Tri-Valley Little League for providing food, ShopRite Liberty for the baked goods, Tara for her giant cookies, the Rennison family for popcorn, and all who made sure our Veterans were fed and celebrated.

💙 To the Sullivan County Veterans Coalition and our incredible planning team and volunteers — your dedication and heart made this day possible.

Finally, to every Veteran who came, we thank you for your service and sacrifice. This day was for you, and we are honored to stand with you.

We can’t wait to see you again next year. Until then, may we continue to honor service, build community, and stand together.

— The Sullivan County Veterans Coalition
