ALBANY, NY – New York’s veterans are an asset and a blessing to our state and the communities they have returned to after service. The sacrifices they have made, along with those of their dedicated families, are why we can enjoy the enormous freedoms we have today. As such, the Assembly Minority Conference is looking forward to continuing to advance legislative solutions aimed at protecting our veterans during National Salute to Veteran Patients Week, which begins on Sunday, Feb. 11 and runs through Saturday, Feb. 17.
