Generally Speaking: Remembering the Maryland 400
BY THEODORE W. GENERAL
Members of the Michael J. Rawley Post #1636 of the American Legion and the Brooklyn Irish American Parade Committee mustered again in the yard behind the post headquarters at Eighth Street just off Third Avenue for their annual Maryland 400 remembrance ceremony.
The legionnaires were led by Post Commander Michael Candia and the parade committee by Kathleen McDonagh. Also in attendance were historian Joseph Ferris, a former member of the State Assembly; current Assemblymember Jim Brennan; Peter DeAngelis, chair of the United Military Veterans of Kings County, and Mary Nolan, president of Brooklyn’s Commodore John Barry Club.
