Moose Family Fraternity's 12th Annual Veterans Appreciation Breakfast

On Sunday, June 2, 2013, the Loyal Order of Moose Patchogue Lodge 518 hosted its annual Veterans Appreciation Breakfast, honoring the Korean War Veterans. Cub Scout Pack 543 of Patchogue performed the color guard for the occasion. The Patchogue-Medford High School Air Force Junior ROTC volunteered their time by assisting with setup and cleanup, and serving the veterans. The Medford VFW attended the event. Notable local politicians came out and supported the event, including attendance by Congressman Tim Bishop, Town of Brookhaven Councilman Tim Mazzei, Town of Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine, and Assemblyman Edward Hennessy. The breakfast commemorated the 60th anniversary of the cease fire of the Korean War.
