Friends of Francis Lewis Park & We Love Whitestone were proud to sponsor Family Picnic Day for our local troops from The Army National Guard- 27th Finance Battalion located here in Whitestone. It was a beautiful day to honor & celebrate these dedicated families on the 251st anniversary of the US Army & Flag Day. It’s always a great event with Speedo The Clown Entertainment who kept the music & festivities jumping. We also took a moment to remember our dear friend, former Councilmember and Deputy Commissioner of NYC Veterans Affairs, Paul A. Vallone at his memorial bench at the beautiful flagpole rotunda. He was certainly there in spirit celebrating these military families, Flag Day and the US Army anniversary. Thank you to The NYC Parks Dept and all the volunteers that helped make this event go smoothly. God bless our military troops and their families…may we always remember to support them, thank them and care for them. And most of all…God bless America. 🇺🇸🌟🇺🇸
