Golden salutes military veterans at breakfast event
Brooklyn veterans ranging in age from senior citizens who fought in World War II to young men in their 30’s who served in the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan enjoyed a big breakfast of eggs, French toast, sausages, bacon and fresh fruit at the Bay Ridge Manor Friday morning, and state Sen. Marty Golden picked up the tab.
Golden does it every year and said he doesn’t mind getting stuck with the bill.
As a pre-Veterans Day celebration, Golden sponsors a breakfast for local veterans as a way of expressing gratitude for their service to the country. “We are in the presence of American heroes,” Golden said. “We remember our veterans and their service. Thank you for what you have accomplished and what you have done for America. We have fought communism, Nazis and terrorism,” he said.
