Gold Star families joined veterans, elected officials, and community members at a dusk service on the Walkway over the Hudson on Sunday to honor those service members that made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation.
Walkway Executive Director Elizabeth Waldstein-Hart welcomed an estimated nearly 1,000 spectators to the ninth annual flag-retiring service at the center of the span over the river. She thanked everyone for helping to make the event a success, including the American Legion Pleasant Valley-Millbrook Post 739, which has been diligent in organizing the service.
Walkway's elevator, merchandise and information pavilions, and electric tram have ended operation for the season. Indoor restrooms remain open near each gate throughout the year.
