many supporters, including JPMorgan Chase and Citibank, and the Farmingdale Starbucks who provided the free coffee at the event. He also recognized American Airpower Museum founder Jeff Clyman, his wife Jackie and museum director Larry Starr.

Two deceased veterans were honored via Honor Flight’s Flags of Our Heroes program, in which families provide a photo and it is taken on a flight and placed in front of the appropriate memorial and photographed. The photo is then presented to the families along with a formal certificate as the veterans’ participation is honored in spirit.

At the recent ceremony, the families of Vietnam War veterans Ronald Joseph Hayes of Bethpage and Conrad Spears of East Meadow came up to pose with their loved ones’ portraits and listen to Rosenking recite their biographies.

State Senator John Brooks (D–Seaford), who chairs the Veterans Affairs Committee and is a Navy veteran, also spoke. He noted how little respect Vietnam veterans received when they returned from that unpopular war. He asserted that they served honorably and with dignity, but were victims of politicians’ misguided policies. “These guys are absolute heroes. We can never make up to them how we treated them, but no one could have served this nation better,” Brooks concluded.

Rosenking said that if there were mistakes in the journals, they would be fixed. Someone called out, “I look old. Can you make me look younger?” to laughter and the emcee replied, “We don’t do miracles, but we’ll try.”
