PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
             
MOMENT OF SILENCE

In memory of the 1,088,854+ individual victims of COVID-19 who have died in the United States, 6,713,093+ deaths worldwide, each leaving family members and friends too soon

In memory of the people in Ukraine killed during Russia's invasion and relentless intentional targeted bombing of civilians in apartment buildings, hospitals, train stations, schools and children centers, deliberating targeting utilities used by civilians to leave them without electricity and heat through the brutal winter weather, with mass graves being found after invaded areas have been retaken, all in Russia's effort to destroy Ukraine and its people, who are forced to fight for their land, their freedom, and general democratic principles. May they rest in peace and peace be restored to Ukraine

In memory of Jacqueline Tilford, lifelong resident and community activist, Town of Greenburgh (Tribute to follow)
