Morris Park Community Association Veteran’s Breakfast

Morris Park Community Association Veteran’s Breakfast

By Robert Press

Saturday morning East Bronx veterans were invited to the Morris Park Community Association for a free breakfast as a thank you for their service to the country. Members of all the services were on hand as were Councilwoman Kristy Marmorato, Congressman Ritchie Torres, and Assembly members Michael Benedetto and John Zaccaro. 

MPCA President Al D’Angelo mentioned that Congressman Ritchie Torres has given the association a grant for a Bronx Veteran’s Museum to be built on a second floor of the association. Councilwoman Kristy Marmorato said  that she would be hosting a Veteran’s Day Breakfast before the Bronx Veterans Day Parade. Thanks go out to Lori Petterson, Patty Marinello, and Pat Cambria who set up the room for the Veteran’s Breakfast.
