Jacobs & Parkway School Honor Wounded Warriors
Nassau County Legislator Judy Jacobs (D-Woodbury) was an invited guest at Parkway School in Plainview to Honor Wounded Warriors on Tuesday, Sept. 10. The children from grades K through 4th grade all had small American flags which they put into the ground and played a major part in this Day of Honoring.
Present were members of Veteran groups, the Plainview Fire Department, and the Second Precinct. Special guest was Chris Levi, who was devastatingly injured during his tour of duty following September 11th. He spoke to the children about the need to care about each other. Chris is now enrolled at LIU Post and working toward his degree.
"This was one of the most moving days I have ever participated in," said Jacobs. "My praise to Principal Ronelle Hershkowitz for bringing everyone together for a few minutes to remember and reflect."
