Women veterans honored on Long Island ahead of Veterans Day
GARDEN CITY, N.Y. -- Just ahead of Veterans Day this Friday, Long Island honored some of our heroes.
Nassau County's court administration and the district attorney's office hosted a salute to women veterans Wednesday afternoon.
Some local heroes were recognized for their contributions and dedication to serving the United States.

The veterans served in various roles in the Korean War, Vietnam War, Operations Desert Shield and Storm, and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
