watch 150 interviews with Veterans this Memorial Day weekend

Their stories will be heard by future generations

YOU CAN WATCH ABOUT 150 HALF HOUR INTERVIEWS WITH GREENBURGH VETERANS NON STOP ON PUBLIC ACCESS TV OR BY CLICKING ON TO OUR LIVING HISTORY LINK (many of the veterans have sadly passed)

Every Memorial day weekend from Friday to Tuesday morning the town rebroadcasts on public access TV interviews conducted with approximately 150 veterans non stop on optimum channel 76 and Verizon channel 35. Sadly, many of the local heroes who participated in the interviews (most of the heroes fought in World War II or the Korean conflict) over the past dozen years have passed away. It's our hope that students and members of the community will appreciate the significant role our local veterans played in participating in our democracy.

Each of the approximately 150 living history stories of Greenburgh veterans is about a half hour long. You can also watch the interviews by clicking on to the greenburgh public access channel

REMEMBER--TOMORROW IS MEMORIAL DAY MOTORCADE IN GREENBURGH
Line up at 10 AM Desanti Plaza Veterans Memorial (across from Hartsdale train station)
Ceremony begins at 10:30 AM at the Memorial
Motorcade continues with stops at the 9-11 Memorial on Central Ave and continues to the Greenburgh Police HQ and the Fairview Fire Department. Because of COVID-19 concerns our veterans committee and fire departments decided to have a motorcade rather than a parade this year.
