Glen Oaks resident and Vietnam War Veteran, Fred Bedell wrote this letter as a tribute to the deep significance and purpose of Memorial Day.
Memorial Day is fast approaching, and I hope the many will not forget the importance of this day. Memorial Day in my book is not just another day off to shop for sales or backyard barbecuing. In my opinion Memorial Day is a time to remember all those who gave their lives to protect the freedoms we enjoy today.

New York, May 12, 2014 – On a cold, snowy January day, a coalition of Republican, Conservative and Democrat New Yorkers came together for a press conference on the steps of Queens Borough Hall to demand an apology from Governor Cuomo for his arrogant and offensive message to all New Yorkers, that if you don’t think the way he does, you have no place in the State of New York.
“Mort Pomerantz was a gift from God, to me personally, and to the veterans he served, and to all who knew him.”
