Senator Addabbo: "This Was Just Our Way of Saying Thank You for Your Service"
Queens, NY – On Saturday, August 25, New York State Senator Joseph Addabbo, Jr., welcomed some 125 veterans and their families to his fourth annual Veterans’ BBQ, which was held outside his Howard Beach district office and VFW Post 2565, under the direction of Pat Connolly.
Chaplain Andrew Sioleti, Chief of Chaplains for the VA New York Harbor Healthcare System, and Assemblyman Mike Miller join Addabbo in welcoming the veterans and families.
Veterans and their families enjoyed hamburgers, hot dogs, sausage and peppers, and ice cream and soda, all of which were served up by the senator’s staff and local volunteers.
For a fourth consecutive year, food, drinks, ice and condiments were donated by local merchants Ragtime Deli, Russo’s on the Bay, Sal’s Food Market, Brothers Deli, Sugar Bun Bakery and Carvel of Howard Beach, Bruno's Restaurant, Lenny's Pizza, and Cero's of Floral Park. This year’s event marked the largest turnout since Addabbo began honoring the veterans.
The crowd also was treated to music performed by a local singer and a guitarist, Mary and John Wagner.
