This week, State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. delivered the Valentine’s Day cards made by students from P.S. 88 in Ridgewood and P.S. 316 in Ozone Park for our veterans, to The St. Albans VA Medical Center. Addabbo would like to thank the students, the school’s administration and faculty, and of course to our veterans for your dedicated service.

“I am very grateful to the students, teachers and administrators at P.S. 88 and P.S. 316, as well as the personnel at The St. Albans VA Medical Center, for keeping this respectful tradition alive for our veterans, even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Addabbo said. “While I couldn’t hand-deliver the cards to the veterans like I usually do, I thought it was still very important to bring these cards the students made for the veterans, who truly appreciate being acknowledged on Valentine’s Day.”
