Fort Hamilton hosts veterans at NIA breakfast
To commemorate Veterans Week, the NIA Community Services Network of Brooklyn recently held its Veterans Appreciation Breakfast in the main ballroom of the Community Club at Fort Hamilton.
The event was jointly funded by state Sen. Andrew Gounardes, Assemblymember Peter Abbate and Councilmember Justin Brannan. It was nice to see the continuation of this tradition, which was established and held for many years by former state Sen. Marty Golden at the Bay Ridge Manor on 76th Street.
The veterans in attendance were treated to musical interludes by a woodwind ensemble from Fort Hamilton H.S. under the direction of maestro and Performing Arts Assistant Principal Tom Oberle.
