County Executive Pat Ryan proclaimed on Veterans Day the first-ever Ulster County Veterans Week to acknowledge the extraordinary service of the 13,000 veterans and their families that call Ulster County home. As a part of Ulster County Veterans Week, County Executive Ryan honored five veterans for their outstanding service and contributions to the community. The veterans were selected by a county-wide call for submissions to highlight the work of individual veterans who were nominated by community members to be recognized for their selfless service to our country and our county.
