STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Since March 29 was designated Vietnam War Veterans Day by President Donald Trump in 2017 — the day the last U.S. combat troops departed Vietnam 51 years ago and the day the last acknowledged prisoners of war were released — it was fitting to honor Vietnam veterans for their service to country all month long.
So on March 26 Assemblyman Matt Slater (R,C-Yorktown) and his colleagues hosted “Vietnam Veterans Day at the Capitol” alongside Veterans’ Affairs Committee Chair Assemblywoman Kimberly Jean-Pierre — on the floor of the New York State Assembly in Albany.
On the local level, Dr. Vincent Maligno received a personal invitation from Assemblyman Sam Pirozzolo (R-Mid-Island) to partake in the commemorative.
Also present were State Senator Jessica Scarcella-Spanton, and Assemblymen Charles Fall and Michael Tannousis.
