The Town of Covert's Veterans Memorial situated in front of the Covert Municipal Building, formerly home to the American Legion, was dedicated on Memorial Day, May 30, 2011. The ceremony began with a parade featuring the South Seneca Elementary School Band and the VFW Color Guards marching from the Elementary School to the Town Municipal Building. Senator Mike Nozzolio spoke as part of the dedication honoring our country's veterans. Patriotic music and taps were performed by the SSCS Elementary Band.
