Albany- The American legion held a Memorial Service at the Albany Veteran's Park Amphitheater Saturday morning.

Dozens of World War II veterans from all branches of service were recognized during the ceremony.

"I think that America has turned around and they do appreciate the people who volunteered to defend our country, and I think that's great," says World War II veteran William Coward.
