Thanks to Assemblyman Schmitt for restoring monument

To the Editor:

Over the years many residents of Blooming Grove, New Windsor, Washingtonville and Cornwall have seen the deterioration of the Veterans Monument at the intersection of Clove Road and Orrs Mills Road. I would like to thank Assemblyman Colin Schmitt for his efforts in conjunction with the American Legion to make sure that this monuments condition was attended to and beautified.

If you are yet to see its restoration, I encourage you to go pay a visit. Honoring our veterans is something we should all pride ourselves in, and Assemblyman Schmitt has done just that by making sure this memorial was beautified.
