FORT HAMILTON -All that is impeding the recent passing of legislation that will allow a portion of the Fort Hamilton Highway to be renamed "Fort Hamilton Veterans Memorial Highway" is the stroke of a governor's pen.
New York State Sen. Jessica Scarcella-Spanton (D-23) and Assemblymember Alec Brook-Krasny (D-46) who served as the bill's sponsor, have worked in bipartisan fashion for nearly two years to make this proposition a reality.
At a recent press conference outside the Fort Hamilton Army Base, Scarcella-Spanton and Brook-Krasny, along with local veterans and members of local veterans' organizations, including Raymond Aalbue, executive director of the United Military Veterans of Kings County, were present.
