NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday announced that landmarks across the state will be lit red, white and blue in recognition of Veteran's Day.

"We owe the men and women who have so bravely served in our nation's military an incredible debt of gratitude and our utmost respect," Cuomo said. "As we reflect, let us never forget the courage, patriotism and determination shown by our veteran's as they answered the call to protect and defend the United States of America. We thank them for their service on this day and always."


The landmarks being lit include:

One World Trade Center and The Oculus World Trade Center Transportation Hub
Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge
Kosciuszko Bridge
H. Carl McCall SUNY Building
Alfred E. Smith State Office Building
New York State FairgroundsNiagara Falls
Mid-Hudson Bridge
Grand Central Terminal
Lake Placid Olympic Jumping Complex
Albany International Airport Gateway

This will be the first illumination of The Oculus after retrofitting 13,000 lighting fixtures to LED fixtures at the World Trade Center campus which is expected to reduce carbon emissions and conserve an estimated 6.4 million kilowatt hours of electricity, which will save more than $700,000 in the first year.
