Raising a flag for a WWII veteran
Joseph Catanzaro, 93, could not hold back his tears as he saw a 30-foot flag go up across the street from his houseon Flag Dayin honor of his brother, Anthony, who never came back from World War II.
Located at the intersection of Avenue Y, Bay 50th Street and West 16th Street, the First Class Anthony Catanzaro Square will pay tribute to the brave soldier, with an official American flag waving in the air–replacing a seven foot flag that stood in place.
He was never forgotten, said Catanzaro. This is something so important to the neighborhood.
