HAMBURG, N.Y. — Local veterans who served their country were honored during a special ceremony on Thursday.

It includes people who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces at any time between Nov. 1, 1955, and May 15, 1975, regardless of where they were stationed.
U.S. Rep. Nick Langworthy also attended the event, which was held at Hilbert College's Swan Auditorium.
