Peace Plaza Veteran's Day Celebration
By Robert Press
It was a bright sunny afternoon for the annual Peace Plaza Veteran's Day Celebration at the corner of Williamsbridge Road and Pelham Parkway North. Over seventy-five people including Assemblyman John Zaccaro and Councilwoman Shirley Aldebol were on hand for today's event.
The emcee of the Peace Plaza Veteran's Day Celebration was former serviceman Joseph Ronda, with speeches by Navy Veteran Gen DeFrancis and Army Veteran Roberto Garcia. Assemblyman Zaccaro and Councilwoman Aldebol also said a few words about Veteran's Day. There was also a bit of cheer for Morris Park Community Association President Al D'Angelo who was missing his first Veteran's Day due to illness.
