Queens, NY – New York State Senator Joseph Addabbo,
Jr. (D-Queens), a ranking member of the Senate’s Veterans, Homeland
Security & Military Affairs Committee, is inviting all local veterans and
their families to his fourth annual “Veterans
Barbeque”, outside his Howard Beach office.
The event is schedule to take place from 12pm to
3pm on Saturday, August 25, at 160th Avenue & 102nd Street, in Howard
Beach.
The Senator and his staff reached out to the
various Queens chapters of the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars,
Catholic and Jewish War Veterans, Vietnam Veterans and Knights of Columbus
fraternal organization, to be their special guests.
Staff members, as well as Senator Addabbo, will cook
and serve food and host a number of neighborhood events.
Senator Addabbo’s staff urges those planning to
attend to R.S.V.P. by calling Senator Addabbo’s district office at 718-738-1111 no later
than August 23, for preparation purposes.
“This is just our small way of saying ‘Thank you
for your service’ -- not only to our local veterans, but also to their
families. All nobly served our country in years past and of course, many brave
volunteers are currently still doing so in Afghanistan and Iraq. We should
show our veterans that we appreciate their dedication and commitment not just
on Veterans Day, but every day of the year,” explained Addabbo.
