WWAST NY

every visit is based on long island. In 2016 the USA Patriots Amputee Athletics did visit Brooklyn NYC. Great time. Visited the kids at Ft Hamilton US ARMY BASE with Sesame Street for Military Families, then great games and party in Bay Ridge. New York City Fire Department (FDNY) commish Dan Nigro threw out the first pitch and no body argued with the ump !

Nearly 60 years after sacrificing his life in Vietnam, Riverhead Medal of Honor recipient Pfc. Garfield Langhorn may soon receive one final tribute — burial at Calverton National Cemetery alongside fellow veterans.

Pfc. Langhorn, who threw himself on a gr***de in 1969 to save wounded soldiers, has been buried in Riverhead since his death. Now, with the blessing of his surviving sisters, a local Vietnam veteran is leading efforts to move him to the national cemetery.

Rainy Sunday Read. In the beginning. In 2011 we went to visit them in DC, having heard about this group who we now call the human condition at its very finest. Vets who continue service with a message of no quit, no limits. The story is in 2020, but we kept going. In 2012 they made their first visit to long island. 2026 will be the 12th visit over 14 years, more than anywhere else. They were welcomed by the great long island community. they inspired and impacted us. If you have seen them or been to one of the events, please share and invite friends. Lets get one big ass crowd on June 13th Salute, Celebration, Games, BBQ - Super Saturday: WWASTNY
