Breaking ground to honor those who served

November 17, 2023 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff

It was Veterans Day, 2021, that founding member of the Kingston Veterans Memorial Work Group Rick Veno brought up the concept of a memorial to honor the service and sacrifice of all the veterans of each of the armed services in the town of Kingston, and it was Veterans Day 2023 when groundbreaking took place in a moving testament to the efforts of the Work Group Chairman Robert Ketter, and members Denbeigh Forbes, James Gallagher, Robert King, and David McKee. And it will be Veterans Day 2024 when the group plans to complete it. Ketter, who presided at the program, gave thanks to State Senator Susan Moran and State Representative Kathleen LaNatra, for their active support, as well as town officials, community partners, businesses, and donations large and small. “Most importantly, to the people of the Town of Kingston,” who have all contributed in significant ways to arriving at this milestone.
“As a community we are building an enduring reminder of the meaning and significance of freedom, democracy, and the service of all Veterans,” The Kingston Veterans Memorial will be a significant achievement to honor all Veterans and their families in the Town of Kingston, and a place to host educational programs, events, and simply to visit and reflect on its meaning.
Also speaking were State Representative Kathleen LaNatra, Selectmen Chairman Kimberley Emberg, and Town Administrator Keith Hickey.
