Local leaders expressed their gratitude to U.S. service members, past and present, for their sacrifices in a special Veterans Day reception at Gracie Mansion on Thursday.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani discussed the city's investments in the PFC Dwyer Peer Support Program and other services geared towards veterans in need.

"We can not be satisfied when there's so much more to do to support our veterans and support their families. We must build a city that's worthy of their sacrifice," said the mayor.

The mayor also thanked the more than 120,000 veterans who call New York City home.
