'Honoring the brave men and women who have served our country is one of the greatest responsibilities we have as a community. The State Senate's Veterans Hall of Fame is an opportunity to recognize the dedication, sacrifice and heroism of our local veterans from Onondaga and Oswego counties,' said Sen. Ryan.
Letters of nomination will be accepted until Wednesday, March 19.
