HUNTINGTON, NY – Suffolk County Legislator Steve Stern (D-Huntington) 16th LD, Chairman of the Veterans and Seniors Committee, awarded a Proclamation recently to students at the Commack Middle School. Students at Commack Middle School wrote get well letters to Douglas Cianchetta, a young Suffolk County Marine who sustained serious burns when he stepped on an incendiary improvised explosive device (IED). Douglas is recovering at the Brooke Army Medical Center in Texas. “It is important to remember the sacrifices our brave young men and women make in service to our country,” Legislator Stern said. “These students have demonstrated that they care about our troops and I am certain that their good wishes and support will lift Douglas’ spirits as he continues to recover. The entire community is very proud of them.” Douglas’ family has requested that future letters and wishes be sent to other soldiers recovering at the Army Medical Center Anyone wishing to send get well wishes is encouraged to send letters to Legislator Stern’s office to “Any Soldier.” Legislator Stern’s office will forward these wishes to the Army Medical Center. Legislator Stern’s district office is located at 1842 E. Jericho Turnpike, Huntington, NY 11743. For additional information, please call (631) 854-5100. |
