A number of Long Island councils and assemblies, as well as Columbian Squires from Rodrigo “Ed” Velez Circle 546, took part in the annual Memorial Day decoration of veterans gravesites at Long Island National Cemetery in Farmingdale. About 200 Knights and family members placed U.S. flags at the headstones of two sections of the cemetery. Father Francis B. Nuss (far left), chaplain of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Council 7479 in Dix Hills, gave the final blessing. Council 7479 hosted a breakfast afterward.
