“When Brooklyn’s 155th Memorial Day Parade kic “When Brooklyn’s 155th Memorial Day Parade kicks off in Bay Ridge on May 30, it will continue to hold the distinction of the oldest, continuous large city Memorial Day Parade in the Nation.  The first parade was held in 1867, on Eastern Parkway when Brooklyn was an independent City, and then the 4th largest city in America.

The parade was also moved to Prospect Park West for several years. Then in 1985, parade officials decided to move the march to Bay Ridge where the parade route and reviewing stand would be closer to the Fort Hamilton Army Base, and John Paul Jones Park.  This is where the post parade memorial service has been held for more than three decades.”

“New York Harbor was once filled with billions o “New York Harbor was once filled with billions of oysters, providing a feast for the native Lenape people — and then the Dutch, the English and New Yorkers of all stripes. Some biologists estimate that the harbor once contained half of the world’s oysters, according to New York Public Library.

Writers from colonial times routinely describe oysters ‘the size of dinner plates’ in Brooklyn’s Gowanus Canal. The delicious bivalves were sold from street stands, taverns and restaurants. An oyster-fry cook at Downtown Brooklyn’s Gage & Tollner restaurant, which opened in 1879, was said to have shucked sixty-six million oysters in his forty-nine-year career, according to the New Yorker.”

“The Dodge YMCA celebrated 17 years of operation “The Dodge YMCA celebrated 17 years of operation in Downtown Brooklyn on May 19, honoring supporters, board members and staff who persevered through the COVID-19 pandemic, which hit the Y hard over the past two years.

The gala brought in funds to help send Brooklyn kids to summer camp, Dodge Y Executive Director Jamel Davis said.

‘One of the most important missions of the Y as an organization is that we promise to never turn people away because of their inability to pay. So anybody who walks through our door, regardless of their income status, the Y is there for them,’ Davis said.”

“At a street renaming ceremony on May 20, 2022, “At a street renaming ceremony on May 20, 2022, the Fort Hamilton Army Base renamed the major transportation avenue running through the historic military reservation which is the Nation’s fourth oldest Army Base, in memory of 1st Lieutenant  John Warren, Jr.

On January 14, 1969, at age 22, while serving as a platoon leader in Vietnam an enemy grenade was tossed near him and three of his men. As the grenade was about to explode, he dived over it shielding those around him from the blast.  His action, at the cost of his own life, saved  three of his men from serious or fatal injury. By direction of the President, on September 8, 1970, the Medal of Honor for conspicuous gallantry above and beyond the call of duty was awarded to 1st Lieutenant John E. Warren, Jr.”
