"HOMETOWN HEROES -- FORGOTTEN NO MORE"
Saturday, June 19, 11AM. There was an Unveiling of five new granite monuments and wreath laying at each; Medal Ceremony for returning veterans; distribution of student-researched Korean War Veterans book; historic schoolhouse tour.
The project is the culmination of work that began more than decade ago with interviews of World War II veterans in Longwood Junior High School social studies classes. Student fundraisers purchased the WWII monument in 2007. A 2009 Town of Brookhaven resolution granted LIPA/Caithness Community monies for the five new monuments. The Town of Brookhaven Parks and the New York State Central Pine Barrens Commission aided the monuments’ installation this spring.
