WE SHALL NEVER FORGET
I’m greatly troubled by the belief of some who think we must move on, that there is too much talk of 9/11 many years later. We have lost thousands of good people including 343 Firefighters who gave their lives to save the many. Not to mention the many first responders who have died and many who are dying from the effects of the attacks and many more will suffer and die in the future. A husband lost his wife, a father lost his son, a mother lost her daughter and friends lost friends. How does one forget? Future generations need to know what happen on that day of evil, for when we disregard history, we are doomed to repeat it.
May God bless America on another anniversary of 9/11 and mourn all the good people who have died and taken from our midst. Let’s keep the memory alive all year long so we don’t forget their sacrifice. Remember this too: Evil thrives when good people do nothing!
This has
been a long, hot, humid summer for all, but our club members were out in the
community as active, vocal, proud Republicans advancing the Party narrative and
our President’s America First agenda. For
us it was dynamic and action filled, as we were spreading our vision of
American greatness, and bringing back the glory days of the Republican Party in
Queens.
The
socialist movement is on the rise, anti-Semitism is rearing its ugly head in
the Democrat Party, disrespect for our Police abounds, crime and shootings are
up, pot smoking and opioids are ubiquitous, and young leftwing AOC acolytes are
mobilizing, fundraising and running for office challenging moderate Dems
throughout Queens.
So are
we! We are firing back on all cylinders, organizing and building a great new
Republican Party, campaigning for Republican candidates, making our voices
heard, and giving encouragement to our communities about the hopeful future ahead
for our great city, state and nation! The silent majority will be silent no
more!
QVGOP marching unit in the Little Neck – Douglaston Memorial Day Parade
We
kicked off the summer with our club’s marching unit in the annual Little Neck –
Douglaston Memorial Day Parade, America’ largest hometown Memorial Day
Parade. We had a great day marching to
honor the heroic soldiers who served bravely and gave their lives for our
freedom. V.P. Delvis Estrada’s pickup truck was part of our marching unit
decorated with flags and club emblems. We were thrilled to bump into our past
Lincoln Dinner Veteran of the Year honoree, Lester Friedman, heroic WWII
Veteran, after the parade at the closing ceremonies.

We raised
our voices joining fellow MAGA Queens patriots at rallies, Trump2020 campaign
events, and protests including the Ilhan Omar Must Go rally in Times Square to
demand her expulsion for the Foreign Affairs Committee of US Congress. We were
there with dozens of New Yorkers at Trump Tower in Manhattan the day President
Trump formally announced his 2020 re-election campaign, sending a strong
message to America that we club members in President Trump’s hometown of Queens
have his back! We greeted AOC in protest at her town hall meetings, and House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi when she visited Queens to stop her lies and obstruction
of our President’s America First agenda.

We relaxed and enjoyed at our club’s 9th Annual Summer BBQ and traditional singalong at our Chairman James Trent’s backyard “Charleston Garden.” We even danced a little Polka! Just recently we marched in the 4th Annual India Day Parade in Floral Park to celebrate Indian Independence and the great diversity of America under our flag and our great President Donald Trump! As we sang God Bless America, waved our flags and Trump2020 banners, many were cheering us on!

We were out there in the community talking
to our Republican neighbors and knocking on doors to build the county committee
of the Republican Party. Many club members ran for district leadership and
county committee positions in our Party’s Primary Election. This is the
foundation of the Republican Party. With an active, functioning county
committee, our Party will thrive and have power and influence in community
affairs and government, and celebrate victories on election night. We are
calling for all club members and fellow Republicans to take county committee positions
and help “make Queens Republican again!” Attend our meetings and events to find
out how!
Now,
more than ever we need to put aside our differences, focus on what unites us as
Americans, as Republicans and Conservatives, as patriots, and form a great
united front to fight back against the rise of the radical left. Let’s come together and celebrate the
cultural diversity of Queens as patriotic Americans of multiple religious,
ethnic and racial backgrounds all united under our flag in our great land of
freedom and opportunity for all. The QVGOP is the most ethnically diverse
Republican club in the state, maybe the United States. Join us and be part of
the movement to save our nation.
