Greatest Generation featured in Boscov’s window
May 29, 2007
Boscov’s Department Store in downtown Binghamton, New York has graciously allowed the Publicity Chairman for the Convention Committee to proceed with a “SALUTE TO WWII VETERANS”. You will be able to see it in the Water St. window of Boscov’s as you make your way to the Holiday Inn, Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena and the Regency Hotel. I have obtained original Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine uniforms which will be on forms in the window. The display will feature Purple Hearts, Bronze Stars, Silver Stars and WWII memorabilia such as original newspapers from that era. Also included will be pictures of those who received the medals.
It has been a privilege to converse with these members of the ”Greatest Generation”. They are leaving us at the rate of 1,500 a day; we need to preserve these memories for future generations.
