HALFMOON- A moving memorial for our veterans made it’s way into Halfmoon this past week as a tribute to those who served in The Vietnam War.
“The Moving Wall is an organization that goes across the United States so you need to put in for that and they evaluate your application,” said Halfmoon Town Supervisor Kevin J. Tollisen. “Halfmoon was chosen as a host location…we consider it to be a once in a lifetime opportunity.”
