Alan Hochberg, assistant to the town supervisor, said a dozen or so local veterans plan to attend.

"These men and women have sacrificed so much for what we call our democracy and our liberty," Hochberg said. "It's a matter of respect to show them that regular men and women care about the efforts and sacrifices that they made."

Greenburgh's ceremony will take place at 1 p.m. at DeSanti Plaza outside the Hartsdale train station.

The town began hosting the annual event in 2009. Town Supervisor Paul Feiner said he hopes people will continue the tradition by attending on Sunday.
