Communities throughout Rockland County gathered over Memorial Day weekend for ceremonies, parades, and remembrance events honoring the brave men and women who gave their lives while serving the United States.

Veterans, elected officials, first responders, community leaders, and local residents attended events across the county as towns and villages came together to pay tribute to fallen service members.

Memorial Day programs were held in numerous communities including Suffern, Spring Valley, Hillburn, Sloatsburg, Montebello, Airmont, Congers, Nyack, and Blauvelt, with ceremonies featuring flag presentations, wreath layings, parades, and moments of remembrance.

Rockland County also hosted its countywide Memorial Day ceremony at Fred Loescher Veterans Cemetery, where officials and veterans honored those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the nation.

The events served as both a tribute and a reminder of the sacrifices made by generations of servicemen and women, while bringing communities together in remembrance, and gratitude.
