Supporting Veteran Communities Across New York State

With more than 600,000 veterans, New York State maintains strong statewide and regional organizations dedicated to veteran support, remembrance, and community outreach. We align our work with respected groups such as:

• New York State Division of Veterans’ Services (NYS DVS) : The statewide agency offering veteran advocacy, benefits assistance, outreach programs, and memorial initiatives across all regions of New York State.
• New York State Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW New York) :  A large network of VFW posts supporting veteran services, remembrance efforts, ceremonies and community engagement statewide.

These organizations help uphold New York State’s commitment to honoring those who served. Our granite memorials strengthen that mission by preserving their legacy with precision, craftsmanship and historical accuracy.
