On December 9, the Hampton Bays Union Free School District along with the American Legion Hand Aldrich Post 924 continued their Veterans’ Day Recognition Ceremonies at the Hampton Bays Elementary School; honoring Mr. James Papandrea, a Hampton Bays resident and World War II Veteran. Legislator Schneiderman presented Mr. James Papandrea with a proclamation for his valor and extraordinary service to our great nation. The American Legion Color Guard raised the flag in Mr. Papandrea’s Honor and it will fly for one month until the next local hero is honored in a similar ceremony. |
