Fighting for Recognition for our Vietnam Veterans, Reso 441 - PASSED!
On November 13th, Councilwoman Marmorato's officially passed her first sponsored resolution during the New York City Council's stated meeting!
Her resolution, Reso 441, will designate March 29 of each year as Vietnam Veterans Day in the City of New York. This resolution was inspired by one of our own District 13 constituents, Oscar Ruiz, with the purpose to honor the bravery and sacrifice of the Americans who served in Vietnam, while also recognizing the ongoing dedication of their families and caregivers. This is just one of the many ways that the Congresswoman plans to fight for recognition for our veterans.
