Today, we at VFW Post 973 had the honor of participating in a powerful Memorial Day Ceremony at the Orange County Veterans Memorial in Newburgh, NY. The names of 820 fallen service members were read aloud — each one a reminder that freedom has always carried a human cost.

Among those remembered were four women veterans and the namesake of our Post, John T. Kenney, whose legacy continues to live on through remembrance, service, and community.

Thank you to every volunteer who stood and read names with dignity and respect, and thank you to every member of the community who came out to support this ceremony. Your presence mattered. Memorial Day is not simply about history — it is about ensuring these individuals are never reduced to statistics or forgotten by time.

Today, Orange County remembered. And that remembrance matters.

This Memorial Day, the names of the 820 Orange County men and women who gave their lives in service to this nation will be read aloud at the Orange County Veterans Memorial in the City of Newburgh.

The ceremony will take place on Monday, May 25 at 3:00 PM at Leroy Place between Grand Avenue and Liberty Street, Town of Newburgh, NY 12550.

Reading these names matters. It reminds us that freedom is not abstract, history is not distant, and sacrifice was carried by real people with families, dreams, fears, and futures. To speak their names aloud is to ensure they are not reduced to numbers, forgotten by time, or lost beneath the noise of everyday life.

These names represent those lost during WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and the post-9/11 era. Their sacrifice deserves to be remembered, spoken, and honored.

This event is open to the public. Parking is available along Balmville Road.
