This Saturday, December 17th, thousands of holiday wreaths will be placed on local veterans' gravestones at the Gerald B.H. Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery. They need more volunteers and you can help.

There are thieves and then there are thieves that cross a line into just disgusting humans. Someone thought they could get away with stealing thirteen bronze veteran plaques from the Sacred Heart Cemetery in Upstate New York.

Here's another way we can show our veterans that we love and appreciate them. It's a program called "Valentines for Veterans" and it's in its fourth year. The program highlights veterans in our area who have fought and served our country. It's a way to show your love in time for Valentine's Day.

Every year, usually around the second Saturday in December, Wreaths Across America asks for your help to lay wreaths. Now, they need your help again.

Every year, Wreaths Across America goes to national military cemeteries and lays wreaths at each of the gravesites of those veterans who have passed. This year, they need your help.

It can be very expensive to attend college and now New York state is making it more affordable for veterans by waiving the application fees.

Tomorrow is Veterans Day. In celebration of all of those who put their lives on the line to fight for and protect our freedoms, many places in the Capital Region are offering freebies and deals for veterans.

Some of your favorite celebrities are auctioning off experiences, movie props, and autographed merchandise to help build homes for veterans and you don't have a lot of time to put your bids in!

They fought (or are currently fighting) for our country and can't afford school. That's not fair, so one local school is looking to help as many service men and women as they can get an education.

I have such a love for not only our veterans but also for the elderly. I saw a post trending through Facebook of this elderly army veteran who was not taken care of, left alone, and my heart broke.

Memorial Day is the day where we remember those who have lost their lives fighting for this country, our freedoms, and the ability to enjoy a weekend. I knew that the one place I wanted to spend that was at the Saratoga National Cemetery.

I'd heard about the Patriot Flight for a few years and finally, a year or so ago I experienced it first-hand.
