KINGSTON – A Memorial Day vigil was held Friday evening in Kingston to pay respects to the approximately 1,300 fallen soldiers and sailors who paid the ultimate sacrifice beginning with the Revolutionary War.  The annual service marks the beginning of the Memorial Day Weekend.

Congressman Marc Molinaro joined Ulster County Veteran Services Agency Director Mark Cozzupoli for the candlelight service.

“We pause to recognize the service and sacrifice of those who gave their last full measure of devotion to a grateful nation,” Molinaro said.  “We owe them much more – so, we recall their names, love their families who live on with loss, support the veterans among us and pray for the men and women standing guard around the world.”
