On Nov 10, The Town of North Haven held a cere-mony honoring veterans for Veteran’s Day. 1st Selectman Michael Freda said, “Today was a very special day for North Haven. We came here with Rep. (David) Yaccarino, Sen. (Len) Fasano, Commander Dan Riccio, and other honored North Haven veterans to honor all veter-ans, both in North Haven and across the country.”
The Citizen spoke with Pasquale Nuzzolillo and Mike Zuccarelli, who cur-rently serve on the Board of Fire Commissioners. Both are veterans of Vietnam.
Zuccarelli served at the Dongha combat base. He said, “This is a day when the country has to take a moment and reflect on the people that served and the souls that were lost for ev-eryone to have that free-

These days Victor Palma and the rest of the guys at the Public Works Department
are hard at work making preparations.
Winter is coming. In between tasks for the
leaf collection program, technicians fit plows onto trucks, order salt, and ser-vice vehicles.
Palma said that the Public Works department has or-dered a minimum of 1,000 tons of Clear Lane salt, and
contractually can get up to 3,000 tons if it is needed.
“Clear Lane has been working really good for us,” Palma said, “We switched brands about three years ago.”
Clear Lane brands itself as being better for the en-vironment with less chlo-ride, reducing corrosion on equipment, and preventing freezing in the truck bed.

Support to help cope with loss during holidays
This time of year is filled with great cheer, but it can also be very difficult for those facing personal loss. Luckily, there are several supportive outlets in our communities to help.
A one-night seminar, “Coping with Grief During the Holidays”, will be offered at Faith United Methodist Church on Nov. 18. It ’s geared to support those who have experienced the death of a loved one, separation or divorce, illness, or the loss of any other important part of their life.
“We pick the Monday be-fore Thanksgiving to meet because, while it’s not as high profile as Christmas, it can sometimes be more dif-ficult since Thanksgiving fo-cuses on being with family,” said Rev. David Piscatelli, Pastor of the Faith United Methodist Church.
Now in it’s fourth year, this seminar will discuss differ-ent alternatives to handling the holidays and how other people have coped during this time.
“When you get people to-gether with a common bond it makes it easier to work
through the issues,” said Rev. Piscatelli. “We want people to know that reaching out for help is the most import-ant thing you can do.”
On Dec. 10, a similar pro-gram, ‘Hope for the Holidays’ at the Caritas Christi Center in Hamden, will be held for those who are separated and/or divorced.
Sister Patricia Cigrand, di-rector of the center, says the evening is dedicated to not only talking about the fears of the upcoming holidays, but offers ways to handle what lies ahead.
“In the past we have had people come to this program hesitant about what to ex-pect, but leave feeling com-forted and supported and they are glad they ventured out,” said Sister Cigrand.
The discussion will be led by Sister Mauryeen O’Brien, O.P., director of the Separated Divorced and Bereaved Ministry. The event is typically an inti-mate group of 10 to 15 peo-ple from the community and surrounding towns.
For those who have ex-perienced loss, but are still looking to stay in the holiday spirit and are not sure how, events like the Mitzvah Mall are a perfect opportunity to
celebrate in a different way.“Instead of buying gifts,
you can make contributions to social agencies and char-ities,” said Rabbi Herbert Brockman of Congregation Mishkan Israel.
More than 20 local, na-tional and international agencies will be on hand to accept donations includ-ing the Connecticut Food Bank, ClearWater Initiative, Columbus House, Ronald McDonald House, and the Hole in the Wall Gang. Donations can be made in the name of a friend or rela-tive, who then will receive a card from the agency inform-ing them of the contribution made in their honor.
“It’s a nice way to celebrate the holidays and make a dif-ference at the same time,” said Rabbi Brockman.
All three events are open to the public. Registration is requested for “Coping with Grief During the Holidays” and “Hope for the Holidays”
The Mitzvah Mall will take place on Sunday, Nov. 17 from 10 a.m. to noon at Cong regat ion Mish ka n Israel, 785 Ridge Road in Hamden. For more informa-tion, call (203) 288-3877.
The seminar, “Coping with Grief During the Holidays”, is
scheduled for Monday, Nov. 18 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Faith United Methodist Church, 81 Clintonvil le Road. To register, please call 203-239-2469 or email [email protected].
“Hope for the Holidays” will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 10 from 7 to 9 p.m., at Caritas Christi Center, Benham Street in Hamden. For more information and to register, call (203) 281-2569.

Volunteers from Troop 811 teamed up with Boy Scouts from across the Sleeping Giant area to collect non-per-
ishable food for underprivi-leged families Nov 8.
Assistant Scoutmaster John Quinby estimated that between 3,000 and 3,500 pounds of food were col-lected this year, with com-parable turnout to last year, which totaled around 3,300. Scouts first distributed food bags along with instructions and then, the morning of Nov 8, traveled around town to
collect them. The food drive benefits numerous food pan-tries in the area. In the cen-ter of North Haven, off the town green, food comes to the Congregational Church, which keeps a food pantry “on behalf of all the churches in the town,” according to Rev. Scott Morrow, commit-tee chair of Troop 811.
“Today’s the day the troops bring their food and drop it off,” Morrow said, “They weigh it to keep records of how much has been donated, and then a cub scout pack will help to sort this food on Wednesday to help make up the boxes to distribute to the families. There has been a lot of help and involvement from members of the town.”

Morrow talked about the history of the food drive. “More than 40 years ago, two firefighters in North Haven started a holiday food drive… They started a food pantry at the firehouse, which worked
great because it is always open. They took donations and delivered them to fam-ilies on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Eventually they

Solli is a decorated vet-eran of the Iraq war whose honors include the Bronze Star with Valor, Air Force Commendat ion Medal , Operation Iraqi Freedom S e r v i c e M e d a l w i t h Presidential citation for ac-tive role in combat, and Connecticut Service Medal for 10 years of service to the state.
After his military service, Solli chose to follow his fa-ther into what he called “the family business.”
“My dad started as a teacher in New Haven and retired after 37 years,” he said.
Solli has been an educa-tor for over 10 years. “I’m honored to have been se-lected as the assistant princi-pal of ACES Thomas Edison Middle School. From the mo-ment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by everyone, and felt that I had been here for years. ACES is a great place
to work,” he said. ACES executive director
Dr. Craig W. Edmondson said, “Todd brings a great depth of knowledge and experience in the area of S.T.E.M (sci-ence, technology, engineering and mathematics) learning and education leadership to Thomas Edison Middle School, ACES science and technology magnet school. We are also extremely proud to have a decorated war vet-eran as part of the ACES community.”
Solli said he thinks the na-tion does a good job support-ing veterans, but that “there is always room to do more.”
Solli said he thinks that allowing veterans to share their stories can be an im-portant way to show support for them.
For that reason, Solli par-ticipated in a school event Nov 8 that invited several vet-erans to speak with students
and “bring them into the ed-ucation process,” Solli said.
Solli said that he enjoys liv-ing in North Haven. “It’s nice little town and the school sys-tems are great.”
Todd Solli, 38, is a North Haven resident who recently began working for ACES’ Thomas Edison Magnet School in Meriden.

Saturday, Dec. 14, is Wreaths Across America Day.
It began as The Arlington Wreath project started by Morrill Worcester in 1992, with a donation and laying of 5,000 Christmas wreaths in Arlington National Cemetery. It was a relatively obscure event until 2005 when a photo of the stones adorned with wreaths and covered in snow circulated on the internet.
The project received na-tional attention and, in 2006, over 150 state and national

cemeteries held wreath lay-ing ceremonies simultane-ously. By 2008, over 300 locations held wreath laying ceremonies in every state, Puerto Rico and 24 overseas cemeteries. Over 100,000 wreaths were placed on vet-erans graves. Over 60,000 volunteers participated.
Now the opportunity to adorn every hero’s grave has been made available to the local community through the efforts of Beecher & Bennett Funeral Home in
conjunction with the nearly 1,000 Veterans and Family Memorial Care Funeral Home Providers nationwide.

North Haven police were summoned to a home for a report of a burglary in prog-ress, Nov. 10 at 8 p.m., ac-cording to a press release from the police department.
According to police, of-ficers were told that a man was struggling to detain the suspect. When police ar-rived, they took Adalberto Velez, 72, of North Haven, into custody. Police said in-vestigators allege that Velez parked his vehicle one block from the victim’s residence and that as he entered the premises, he used a f lash-light to illuminate his way.
In the police press re-lease, it is alleged that, as Velez made his way towards the 53-year-old victim’s bed-room, she woke up and a struggle ensued. While the victim and Velez were strug-gling with one another, the victim’s 21-year-old son re-turned home from work ear-lier than expected. Police report that the son then called police and detained Velez until officers arrived.
Police located a bag that Velez is believed to have brought with him. The bag contained rope with pre-made noose type knots, a folding knife, surgical gloves, and duct tape along with other items.
Velez, was arrested and held on a $750,000 bond. He was arraigned in Meriden Superior Court on Nov. 12 where he answered to the following charges: home in-vasion, unlawful restraint, criminal attempt to commit sexual assault first-degree, sexual assault third-degree, and disorderly conduct.

Morrow said, “This is a community-wide effort, so we have help from the Rotary Club and the Lion’s Club, the schools, the sports or-ganizations, the boy scouts, we all do it together… we help about 85 families and, in addition to that in North Haven, we also have a food pantry through Community
Services. During the rest of the year, both their group and our group can come once a month to get food, which is obviously never enough for a family for the whole time, but it helps. We do as much as we can.”
Morrow said the food drive makes him proud to be a resident of North Haven. “As far as I’m concerned, it is one of the best things about this community. Everybody in the town knows about this and a lot of local businesses help out … For people who have been involved through-out the years, you become aware that people who at one point need help years later, their circumstances change and they are donat-ing food themselves so that other people can be helped.

Letters to the Editor
Business woesTo the editor:Once again the self ap-
pointed gurus of “What’s best for North Haven” have driven away a business seeking to lo-cate in North Haven.
I am referring to the re-cycling facility hoping to occupy the circuit-wise prop-erty that has lain fallow for many years.
Said business would have not only brought in many thousands of sorely needed tax dollars but needed jobs as well.
Strange as it may seem, town leaders did not think to promote this business to the public.
I guess the leaders only promote non-taxable fa-cil it ies a la Yale-New Haven Medical center and Quinnipiac College.
If this trend of business bashing continues, North Haven will become a highly taxed bedroom community.
Neil Lillo Sr.North Haven
Better security needed
To the editor:Why is the Board of
Education unwilling to pro-tect children from what oc-curred at the Sandy Hook School? They refuse to have police officers in plain clothes in elementary and middle schools. Why do Mr. Cronin and some of his board mem-
bers link the words armed guards to school security rather than expertly trained plain clothes police officers?
We have a North Haven police officer at the high school; why are the elemen-tary and middle school chil-dren going unprotected? One board member told me that we do not have a police offi-cer in the high school, that he is a resource officer. I told her he is a North Haven police of-ficer, what problem is there with saying police officers?
At an Oct. 10 Board of Education meeting, I in-formed Mr. Cronin and mem-bers of the board that Sandy Hook had their doors locked but they were breached by gunfire. Sandy Hook had video cameras but they did not stop carnage.
Superintendent Cronin, in a recent article in The North Haven Citizen, stated be-cause of the tragedy at Sandy Hook, they are keeping the doors to the schools locked a part of a security proto-col. He also states video cameras are being installed which are linked to the po-lice department.
Even with cameras linked to the police station it is nearly impossible for po-lice to arrive in time once an incident occurs. I have 40 years combined expertise in law enforcement, law en-forcement training, armed security training and armed self-defense. North Haven,

During the recent gov-ernment shutdown, many numbers were thrown around, but there is one number that stands out and it has nothing to do with the debate over the federal budget.
More than one a day. That is how many mem-bers of our active-duty military, Army National Guard and Reserve forces have committed sui-cide over the last year. Simply put, we are losing more service members by their own hands than we are by the enemy in Afghanistan.
Only those who ex-perienced firsthand the horrors of combat can understand why most of these young men and women feel compelled to take such drastic and per-manent measures.
As Veterans Day cere-monies and parades occur throughout the country, it is important that we commit ourselves to do everything possible to prevent these needless and tragic deaths.
We are their friends, their family, their co-workers and their neighbors. It is up to us to ensure that veterans feel their service to this coun-try is appreciated by their fellow Americans.
There are many tangible ways we can acknowledge their sacrifice, but the easi-est is to simply say, “Thank you for what you have done for our country.”
If he is showing signs of unhappiness or depres-sion, encourage him to seek help through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs immediately.
If she has had difficulty obtaining the benefits she is entitled to, let her know that The American Legion has thousands of trained service officers nationwide who will help her navigate the bureau-cracy free of charge.
And if a veteran has made the supreme sacri-fice, remember the price that has been paid for our freedom and offer your support to the loved ones left behind.
Veterans Day is a time
Serve veterans as well as they served usBy Daniel M. DellingerSpecial to Town Times

The North Haven Citizen | northhavencitizen.com Friday, November 15, 2013 A15
Veterans
to honor not just those who have fought for us in battle, but all of the outstanding men and women who served in our nation’s armed forces since our founding more than 237 years ago.
Not all veterans have seen war, but a common bond that they share is an oath that they expressed their willingness to die defending this nation.
Perhaps, most significant in preserving our way of life, are the battles that America does not have to fight.
While we should all be grateful for the remarkable advancements made in mil-itary medicine and pros-thetics, the fighting spirit and inspirational stories of our veterans are not due to
technology.These traits come from
the heart.And many of these vet-
erans are women, such as Army Chief Warrant Officer Lori Hill.
While piloting her heli-copter over Iraq in 2006, she maneuvered her chopper to draw enemy gunfire away from another helicopter and provide suppressive fire for troops on the ground.
Despite flying a damaged aircraft and suffering inju-ries, she landed the helicop-ter safely, saving her crew.
For her actions, she be-came the first woman to receive the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Women are major con-tributors to our military presence in Afghanistan and many have given their lives
in the War on Terrorism. The American Legion
recently issued a report call-ing upon the VA to improve its response to the unique needs of women veterans.
The VA and military health systems need to ad-equately treat breast and cervical cancer as well as trauma that resulted from domestic violence, sexual harassment and assault.
America is home to more than 1.2 million women vet-erans, and they deserve our support.
Let us always treat all of our 23 million veterans as the saviors of our country that they are. Even when the guns are no longer shooting.
Daniel M. Dellinger is na-tional commander of the 2.4 million-member American Legion.
From Page 14
Toward the end of the legislative session that ended in June, the major-ity party in the Connecticut General
Assembly made sig-nificant and unfortu-nate changes to our state’s campaign fi-nance laws that are eroding good-gov-ernment provisions put in place just a few years ago.
In the wake of the scandal surround-
ing former Gov. John Rowland, the
legislature passed sweeping reforms to limit money in politics and in-crease transparency for political contributions.
The bill passed this year removes spending limits on political parties that contribute to candidates receiv-ing public funding and doubles con-tribution limits to state and town party committees. Additionally, can-didates can raise money for political action committees that will even-tually be spent to assist their own candidacy. Organizations that spend money in legislative campaigns are also able to pay for negative cam-paigning which was not allowed un-der the previous law.
The result of these changes will be a jump in spending on political cam-paigns from outside sources and a re-duction in oversight. Contributions from individuals are easy to track un-der reporting requirements but con-tributions from PACs are much more difficult to track for the average in-terested person. I understand the ar-gument that money helps candidates reach out to and inform voters; how-ever, often times in practice too much money, particularly in state races, can drown out the voice of the people.
In my own district, I work hard to keep an open dialogue with residents through monthly coffees, active con-stituent service and by going door-to-
door. These aren’t things that require a lot of money; instead, they require time and effort, something all elected officials and all candidates should be capable of.
Next legislative session I will work to reverse some of the provisions of the campaign finance law that were changed this year so we can keep better control of spending by out-side sources in political campaigns. Elections for office in our state should be decided by those that are directly affected by the results of the election and our law should reflect that.

Winter
into a garage where a tech-nician was pulling on work gloves, eye protection, and a hat. Observation of the repair activity took place 15 feet away as the techni-cian started work on the
From Page 1
rusted salt spreader. As he readied his tools, the tech-nician commented that car-rying salt can cause a lot of rust to build up. Sparks flew into the air as Palma called, “Pose for the picture! Like for Hollywood!”
Most of the preparations for winter weather are be-ing performed by the “four
maintenance guys.” These men do everything from re-pairing broken tail lights to installing snowplows. A sin-gle technician was able to use a forklift to align a mas-sive snowplow, wider than he was tall, onto the front of a truck. When winter comes, 22 employees will focus their efforts on related tasks.
“We prepare the best we can,” Palma said, “But some-times we have situations like two years ago, when three feet of snow came down in 24 hours.” Palma is refer-ring to the record-break-ing winter storm on Jan. 13, 2011 that was so intense, Accuweather reported light-ning strikes across Southern New England.
In addition to plowing the roads, the Public Works Department clears some sidewalks using a “skidster” with a plow and a different type of salt.
Palma said that the de-partment never knows how bad the winter is going to be. “Some people have old wives’ tales, like in ‘The Farmer’s Almanac’,” Palma said, “but we get ready for the worst and hope for the best. If the weather forecast says three inches, we prepare for a ma-jor snowstorm.”
HERO HONORED
War hero, George H. Breuler, was recently inducted into the Connecticut Veterans Hall of Fame. Public officials on hand to honor Breuler were, from left: state Rep. Al Adinolfi (R-103), state Sen. Len Fasano (R-34), Breuler, and state Rep. Dave Yaccarino (R-87). Breuler, formerly of North Haven for many years, served in the U.S. Army during World War II. His community involvement included coordinating North Haven’s annual Memorial Day Parade for 14 years, as well as coaching in the Max Sinoway Little League. Under his command, the American Legion Murray-Reynolds Post 76 was honored as the Legion Post of the Nation in 1985. He also was selected by the Veterans Association to lay a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Washington, D.C. |(Submitted by Brett Cody.)

Post 76 Commander Dan Riccio visited the breakfast as well.
According to Rotarian David Marchesseault, nearly 40 volunteers staffed the event, which was attended by well over 600 people. There
were 73 racers who partici-pated in the 5K.
Last year, net profits to charities from the breakfast and its attendant events were nearly $10,000. This year’s numbers will be announced later this week.
Rep. Dave Yaccarino and Sen. Len Fasano sat in the McDonalds on Washington Avenue, Nov. 1, surrounded by a handful of their constit-uents, talking about every-thing from Gov. Malloy to Interstate 95.
At the meeting that started at 8 a.m., Yaccarino drank from a small cup of McDonald’s coffee – black. Fasano had a Dasani water in front of him.
The two legislators come to the location the first Friday of every month to talk to res-idents, learn what is on their constituents’ minds and tell a bit of what is happening up in Hartford.
At first, the group took up one long table in the fast food restaurant, but other resi-dents started to trickle in, filling up other tables. The legislators started to move around the room, speaking with various groups.
“What’s up, Dave,” said one constituent, shaking Yaccarino’s hand.
“They just want to hear what their constituents want to say,” said David Kovacs, a spokesman with the House Republican Office, who ac-companied the two legisla-tors that day.
A few other Republican lawmakers hold similar meets with their constituents across the state, Kocacs said. Instead of McDonalds, they meet in

Dunkin Donuts, or local cof-fee joints as a way to reach out to residents who may not be able to travel to Hartford to express their views.
The monthly meeting in North Haven started in the “off season” so it could start small and grow, Kovacs said.
Pat Foley attended the morning coffee meet-up with her legislators for the first time Nov. 1. The North Haven Residents -- who has no rela-tion to politician Tom Foley (“No way, shape or form”) – was “pleased Dave and Len are doing this.”
She said the more contact legislators have with resi-dents, the better job they can do in Hartford. Her conversation with the leg-islators ranged from the polit-ical situation in Connecticut, Education and political cam-paign financing.
She thinks she was the only Democrat there, but the con-versation was still civil.
“We weren’t jumping down each other’s throats; we were talking,” she said. “That was good. That is the way it’s sup-

T h e I n d i a n s d r e w first blood on a 65-yard touchdown run by Jake Bencivengo to put North Haven ahead 6-0.
Following a Madison score, North Haven re-sponded shortly before halftime when Bencivengo
hauled in a 30-yard touch-down pass from Nick Perillie to give the Indians a 12-8 lead heading into the break.
In the second half, North Haven’s defense got in on the fun, as Mark Montano forced a fumble at Madison’s one-yard line before recovering the ball and plunging in for the defensive score, giving North Haven a 18-8 lead.
On the ensuing Madison possession, the Indians’
Steven Erbe forced an-other Madison fumble and returned it 40 yards for a touchdown.
Ricky Stober added the 2-point conversion kick to put North Haven ahead 26-8.

The North Haven High School football team took an-other step towards qualifying for the Class L state playoffs Nov. 8 with a 28-14 win over Foran at Vanacore Field.
Foran plays a completely different style of football than does North Haven, averaging some 300 yards through the air, and 39 points per game.
Foran, which headed into the matchup with a record of 6-2, and riding a four-game win streak, received the
opening kickoff and scored on only four plays, complet-ing one long pass and a series of shorter ones.
Foran ultimately crossed the goal line with a 3-yard pass from Jake Kasuba to Connor Cadrin.
Cadrin followed with a suc-cessful point-after kick to put the Lions up 7-0 just 1:02 into the game.
North Haven would re-spond later in the first quar-ter on a 4-yard run by senior co-captain Ethan Suraci, his first of four touchdowns on the night.
The kick that followed was unsuccessful, so Foran re-mained in front, 7-6.
In the second quarter, Suraci put the home team on top with a 1-yard touchdown run.
Junior Cole Pecora ran in the 2-point conversion for a 14-7 lead.
The Lions would not give up, however. They passed their way back down the field and scored through the air on a halfback option pass; 17 yards from Cadrin to Nick Weissauer.
Damont Gee’s PAT was
good and the teams headed to intermission tied at 14.
In the third, North Haven sophomore Mike Montano completed a 45-yard halfback option pass to sophomore Jeremy Imperati to move the Indians’ in close.
Suraci then carried in his third touchdown of the night, from five yards.
Sabrina Fronte kicked the extra point to put North Haven in front for good at 21-14.
The Indians padded their lead in the fourth quarter on a 5-yard run by Suraci.
Fronte was good on the PAT.
North Haven (8-1) not only held Foran’s passing game in check, the locals limited the Lions to a modest 227 total yards.
Suraci had 21 carries for 71 yards. Pecora and Montano added 88 and 83 yards, re-spectfully, on the ground.
Senior co-captain Patrick Mikos led the North Haven defense with 12 tackles and an interception. Junior Zach Kastenhuber had three sacks, bumping his team-leading to-tal to 11.

North Haven (6th grade) 28, Valley 14: Following in the footsteps of their older counterparts, the sixth grade North Haven team advanced to the semifinals with a 28-14 victory over Valley.
Eathan Okwuosa scored on a 17-yard run on the Indians’ first possession of the game to help put North Haven up 7-0.
Joe Wenzel kept the game in North Haven’s favor with a 26-yard touchdown run later in the contest.
Chris Hansen finished off the scoring for the Indians with a 1-yard plunge into the end zone, thanks in part to the excellent play of North Haven’s offensive line: Joe Ranciato, Jack Priebe, John Degregorio, Noah Perillie and Joe Vitale.
Perillie also recovered a blocked punt and returned it
for a touchdown.Jesse Lake had a solid af-
ternoon for the victors, con-verting on a pair of 2-point conversions, while Max Rivera and Jeff Williston led the North Haven defense with five tackles each.
Branford 27, Nor th Haven (5th grade) 13: The 5th grade squad was defeated by Branford, 27-13, in a hard-fought battle.
North Haven (4th grade) 20, East Haven 13: The un-
defeated Indians continued their storybook season with a quarterfinal victory over East Haven, 20-13.
Matt Dodge and Spencer Mulligan combined for all of the Indians’ touchdowns in the Battle of the Havens.
Despite being considerably out-sized, the Indians took a 14-0 lead into halftime.
In the second half, East Haven responded with a long touchdown drive to cut the Indians’ lead to 14-7.
North Haven struck back with its final score early in the fourth quarter.
Bennett DellaValle, Leo Kattis, Stephen Loda, Cole DeCusati, Jake Langner and Chris Hager led the Indians’ defensive unit.
The offensive line of Anthony Acampora, Brendan Jooss, Aiden Rapuano, Caleb Somma, Paul Cappella and Ryan Skronski opened up plenty of running lanes for North Haven backs.

and women, dealing with homelessness and substance abuse. The President just hired 3,000 mental health specialists for the V.A. for when they pull out of Iraq, and these people are going to be back soon. If they don’t have someone to pull them into the system, they proba-bly won’t go in voluntarily… With this day, we can make an effort to come out and show support for the veter-ans who served,” he said.
Nuzzolillo served as a corpsman in naval hospitals during the Vietnam war, in-
cluding Chicago, Orlando, Naples, and the Puget sound. Nuzzolillo focused his state-ments on the dead and the injured. “Today we should come together and remem-ber those who made the ul-timate sacrifice,” he said, “I traveled to Italy and treated war heroes at the naval hos-pital… I treated a number of young people [in their twenties] and lost a num-ber of young people [in their twenties.]”
Nuzzolillo said that expe-riences like his, “scar your heart for life.”
“I think the youth of America need to understand
and hear the stories of vet-erans,” Nuzzolillo contin-ued, “ So many folks have discounted what the veter-ans have done and have sac-rificed… I am hopeful that young people today will come to appreciate the sacri-fices [veterans] have made. I fear young people today will not live in the same America we grew up in, with the same kind of thoughts about free-dom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
Nuzzoli l lo concluded, “That’s why today, we honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice and those who serve in the military today.”
