MAYOR'S MESSAGE
|
From Mayor Desiderio:
I recently had the pleasure of attending a brief ceremony at VFW Post 1963, during which U.S. Air Force Tech Sergeant Michael Gavaghan donated a special American flag to our local veterans - a flag that flew on a KC-10 Extender plane from the 908th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron at Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates. It was such a pleasure to meet Sergeant Gavaghan and to thank him for his donation to VFW Post 1963 - and for his service to our nation. Sergeant Gavaghan's flag is now on display at the VFW, and it serves as a proud reminder of all that our nation's military does for us, day-in and day out. <<
