Here is yet another reason that people in the Bronx love State Senator Jeff Klein. Sunday was his annual Bronx Veterans Day Parade Breakfast, and vets from wars back to World War II were on hand. I found two WWII vets Joe Garofalo (age 92) and Albert Mazza (age 89) on hand as you will see in one of the photos below. I also found out that one of the honorees Ms. Hattie Harris served during WWII and she was not afraid to say that she was 91 years old. This year all the honorees were women, and Senator Klein posed for a photo with a group of proud Korean War Veterans.
