A special thank you to deputy Mayor Charles Woznick for organizing the Memorial Day Parade and Service in Village of Maybrook. Your dedication helped bring the community together in remembrance and respect for those who gave their lives in service to our country.

It is my honor to introduce our 2026 Memorial Day Grand Marshal, Mr. Richard Golden.
Mr. Golden has been a proud member of Maybrook VFW Post 2064 for the past 45 years. His military service began when he enlisted in the United States Navy on September 18, 1968, in San Diego, California. In January 1969, he shipped out aboard the USS Piedmont (AD-17) for his first tour of duty, serving in Hawaii, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Japan.
He later served aboard the USS King (DLG-10) during a deployment to the Gulf of Tonkin, approximately 20 miles from Haiphong Harbor, Vietnam. During this deployment, the ship’s mission included search and rescue operations as well as picket duty in support of military operations during the Vietnam War.
Mr. Golden was honorably discharged from active duty on August 29, 1972. He later moved to Orange County, New York, where he attended and graduated from Orange County Community College in 1975. During that time, he met his wife, and in 1978 they made Maybrook their home. For the past 48 years, they have proudly resided on Wallace Avenue.
Today, we recognize not only his military service, but also his decades of dedication to our community and fellow veterans.

Thank you to everyone who came out today in Village of Maybrook to honor our fallen heroes on Memorial Day. The day started off with rain, and although we had to cancel the parade, we were still proud to host the Memorial Day Service and come together as a community in remembrance and gratitude.

A heartfelt thank you to Isabella Giannico for a beautiful rendition of the “Star Spangled Banner,” and to Alix O'Connor for performing “God Bless America.” Thank you to Grand Marshal Richard Golden and Guest Speaker Ron Feller for helping make the service so meaningful.

Special thanks to Deputy Mayor Charles Woznick, Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus, Orange County Sheriff Paul Arteta and Pastor Tom Jackson of the Peoples Regular Baptist Church for their support and participation in honoring the meaning of Memorial Day.

We also thank the Maybrook Railtown Conductors Marching Band, Maybrook VFW Post 2064 and Auxiliary, Maybrook Police Department, and Maybrook Fire Department for their continued dedication to our community.

Additional appreciation goes to Mainline Diner, ShopRite of Montgomery, Eric Guarneri of E-Rock Entertainment, David Griffith, Jen Woznick, Alyssa Scholz, Matt Thorp, and the entire DPW crew for helping prepare the village for this important day.

A special thank you also goes out to the residents of Village of Maybrook for coming together in remembrance, showing community pride, and helping keep the true meaning of Memorial Day alive for future generations.

Most importantly, today was about remembering and honoring the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Their courage and service will never be forgotten.

Our Guest Speaker, former Orange County Legislator, former Town of Montgomery Supervisor, and proud American veteran, Mr. Ronald Feller has been active in public service in the Town of Montgomery for nearly two decades and has held several leadership roles in local government.
He first joined the Montgomery Town Board in 2008, serving as a Town Councilman until 2012. He later became Director of the Town’s Parks and Recreation Department from 2013 through 2017, where he helped oversee community recreation programs and the town facilities. In 2020, he returned to the Town Board as a Councilman and Deputy Supervisor under then-Supervisor Brian Maher.
In late 2022, he was appointed Town Supervisor after Brian Maher was elected to the New York State Assembly. He officially served as Montgomery Town Supervisor during 2023 and focused on issues involving town growth, budgeting, infrastructure, and public safety.
In January 2024, the Town Boards of Montgomery and Wallkill jointly appointed him to fill a vacancy representing Orange County’s 9th Legislative District in the Orange County Legislature. Local officials cited his experience in municipal government and community involvement as reasons for the appointment.
Beyond public office, he has always been committed to community involvement. He has worked closely with local organizations, youth sports programs, charitable causes, and veterans’ groups throughout the Hudson Valley. He and his family have also been longtime supporters of community service initiatives and charitable foundations that have helped many residents throughout Orange County.
As a veteran himself, he understands firsthand the sacrifice, duty, and dedication required to serve our nation. His respect for those who wore the uniform and those who made the ultimate sacrifice has been evident throughout his years of public service and participation in veterans and Memorial Day events across our community.
