New York State honors veterans from the Greater Binghamton area.

The Vietnam Veterans of America hosted a ceremony Thursday at the American Legion Post 1700 in Endicott.

Seven veterans were awarded with medals for serving the nation in its greatest time of need.

"They deserve to be honored. They served our country and they may have not been honored for anything when they got through with their service. It's important to honor them now," said Larry Holdredge with the Vietnam Veterans of America.

The medals handed out were the New York State Conspicuous Service Cross, Conspicuous Service Star and the Medal for Merit.

Veterans Day is next Wednesday, November 11th.
