D-Day Remembrance Ceremony at Clifton Park This Morning
Sea Cliff, NY · June 6, 2026
The morning air is thick with the scent of salt and honeysuckle, a perfect backdrop for the quiet ceremony planned at the memorial.
📰 The Lead
Today marks the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, and the village is gathering at Clifton Park to honor the occasion. Organized by the James F. Brengel American Legion Post 456, the ceremony begins at 10:00 AM. It’s a brief but poignant tradition that brings together veterans and families under the shade of the oaks. This year, the focus is on the oral histories recently archived by the local museum, ensuring the stories of our neighbors who served are preserved for the next generation. Expect a short procession and the playing of Taps, followed by a small reception at the Legion Hall.
