State Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside) commemorated Veterans Day by honoring six Queens residents for their service during the Korean and Vietnam wars.
“We must never forget the courage and sacrifice of those who have served our great country. It is through their dedication that the ideals of democracy are protected at home throughout the world,” Avella said. “Their commitment and valor is the embodiment of patriotism, and these veterans have each earned our highest respect.”
