FORT HAMILTON — It was a dual celebration of sorts.
The American Legion Coffey-Wilson Post 668, one of the oldest posts in Kings County, held its 104th annual gala and award ceremony at the Fort Hamilton Army Garrison Community Club’s Hamilton Lounge last month, honoring more than a dozen recipients.
In addition, the event paid a surprise tribute to Major Juan Diaz, acknowledging his retirement after nearly 25 years of military service.
