Welcome to RyeVets.orgThis site exists to honor the men and women of Rye, N.Y. who served their country. Thank you to all of them. MEMORIAL DAY 2024 - IN MEMORY OF THOSE WHO DIED "Theirs is a very real and very tangible contribution to victory and to peace. I would like to tell you how genuinely proud I am to have men such as your son in my command, and how gratified I am to know that young Americans with such courage and resourcefulness are fighting our country's battle against the aggressor nations." This project has always been a community effort in conjunction with the Rye Historical Society, American Legion Post 128, Rye High School & Middle School and numerous volunteers. To our knowledge no other community has ever attempted anything on this scale and this project could serve as a template for all other interested municipalities across the United States. Please consider volunteering to help tell our veterans stories. Where they Lived In Rye!
