Memorial Day Program At Veterans’ Memorials At Old Hempstead County Courthouse

Hempstead County paid tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice Monday in observance of Memorial Day.  Hempstead County in conjunction with American Legion Post #421 held the observance on the lawn of the old Courthouse.  A large, respectful crowd was on hand to hear remarks from keynote speaker U.S. Army Col. (retired) David Lively.

The colors were presented by Troop 5 of the Boy Scouts and a contingent of Sheriff’s Deputies offered a 21 gun salute.
