ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY – The Rockland GAA will be holding an open meeting for all those with an interest in the future of Rockland GAA on Friday, February 2nd at 7pm. “If you feel you have something to contribute, don’t sit on the sidelines and complain about it. Attend the AGM and get involved, put your ideas forward – get your point across. Have your say in the future of the Green & White. Listen to what is going on inside your club. Learn what it takes to run the club effectively. Meet the decision makers – even become a decision maker. This is not a closed forum.” said the Rockland GAA invitation,

Everyone is a volunteer, everyone has a part to play. Find out what it takes to become an active volunteer. Find out what the club is doing for you, your children, and your community. Maybe you are a former player or coach and want to get involved again. Maybe your family has a long-standing association with the club, but you are disconnected and want to get involved. Don’t listen to those telling you “it takes up so much of your time” – remember why you first became involved with the club – the GAA is one big family who is there for each other.

The Rockland GAA is located at 160 Old Orangeburg Road in Orangeburg, NY.

ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY – In a solemn and moving Memorial Day tradition, Rockland County Vietnam veterans gathered once again at the Piermont Pier to light the annual Watchfires, a powerful tribute to those who gave their lives in service to our country.

Organized by the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 333, the Rockland County Watchfires are part of a long-standing ritual that symbolizes the beacons once used to guide soldiers home. The fires are ignited at midnight and burn for 24 hours, serving as a stark and heartfelt reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served — especially the more than 58,000 American service members who died during the Vietnam War.

Hundreds of veterans, local residents, and elected officials turned out to witness the solemn lighting ceremony in Piermont, one of several locations across the county to host a watchfire, including Bowline Point Park in Haverstraw, and Clausland Mountain in Orangeburg.

The event also provides an opportunity for younger generations to learn about the sacrifices of veterans and to express gratitude for their service. The participation of community members and local officials underscores the county’s commitment to preserving the legacy of its veterans and ensuring their stories are never forgotten.

The Rockland County Watchfires continue to be one of the most visually striking and emotionally resonant Memorial Day events in the Hudson Valley, drawing visitors from across New York and neighboring states.
