Editor's Note: This article was written by representatives of the Town of Hempstead.
Hempstead Town Councilwoman Angie M. Cullin recently congratulated the pupils who participated in the Valentines for Vets program at the Camp Avenue Elementary School, the Progressive School of Long Island, Calhoun High School, Levy-Lakeside Elementary School and Chatterton Elementary School.
Through this program, which the Town instituted in 2001, students create valentines to send to veterans at local VA hospitals.
Many of these men and women don’t have families and it means a lot to them to know that the young children appreciate them for the sacrifices they made for our nation.

The School board is a bunch of morons if they want to remove this designation! There were 0 problems…Read More like this when Malucci was in office, this new superintendent is a waste of space, money, and cares more about his own paycheck then our kids!

Bless you, Anthony. And though I know ultimately the "Judge" will have to be held…Read More accountable by a higher authority...those of us who do this work, have not forgotten nor will we allow the system to forget what her role in this travesity was.

Thank you for this wonderful article on a good man pushed to the brink. I appriciate the fact this…Read More came form the heart and did not hold back. As Sacristan at Cure of Ars, I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Rich (as I called him) for some time. He was a man of faith and a pleasure to see. Always with a smile and kind word, you would never know what was going on the way he acted. This was a wonderful and insightful article. It is heartbreaking to think that where there was once love between 2 people, things got to the point where one persons life was destroyed by those who could and did for no apparent reason other than having the ability to do so. God will have mercy on Dr. Rich and the ex-wife and "Judge" should pray for the same given their actions.
