I thought I’d compile the posts I’ve written over the years honoring Ossining’s War Veterans. Please note that this is an extremely small selection of the approximately 193 men and women who died in the service of our country, and doesn’t even touch on all those who have served. I also realize, in putting this together, I have so far only written about World War I and II.

But Ossining has had a part in nearly every US conflict, from the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, WWI & II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Beirut Police Action, the Gulf War, the Iraq War, the Afghanistan War and numerous other police actions and conflicts.

For a more complete list, please refer to this book, published in 1983 by the Ossining Historical Society. (Yes, it does need an update!) I believe a copy can be found in the Ossining Public Library for perusal. One can purchase this from the Ossining Historical Society which, as of this writing on 11/11/2024, is generally open the first Saturday of every month from 10am – 2pm.

We thank each and every person for their service to our country.
