Assemblyman Brian Curran hosted the annual Veterans Hall of Honor event on Sunday, October 19. The event is held to recognize local veterans for their service.
Frank Dimieri from Malverne was among those honored. He joined the Army in 1967 and served with the 3rd Armor Division in Hanover, Germany. After ten months, he was transferred to Vietnam and assigned to the 4th Infantry Division 4/42 Artillery, where he received a Purple Heart and Army Commendation.
Curran expressed his gratitude by stating, “It is my great honor to recognize all these amazing and inspiring veterans. They have given up so much to protect the freedoms we enjoy in the U.S. To honor them like this is the least I can do as a thankful citizen. We owe veterans a debt we can never repay and must always remember freedom is never free.”
