On Sunday, May 19, a Veteran Suicide Awareness and Remembrance (SAR pronounced S-A-R) Flag ceremony was held at the Greenwood Lake Arthur Finnegan American Legion Post 1443.
Joe Braskey, VSO liaison to SAR (one of 8 board members) presented the SAR flag to legion CDR Walter Kittle after making a brief, informal presentation to those in attendance. Following, Kittle raised the SAR flag in solidarity with all in attendance at salute. Braskey in addition to being liaison to SAR is a US Navy Veteran, American Legion member of Kim Lau post, and Sr. Vice CDR of Long Beach VFW. The ceremony was also poignant as May is mental health awareness month. More information about the SAR flag can be found at sarflag.org.
The Warwick Valley Irish Ballad & Trad Sessions played outdoors at the American Legion. These sessions are held every third Sunday at the American Legion from 4 to 6 p.m.
