Despite a rainy weekend, Assemblyman Smith attended the Ronkonkoma Chamber of Commerce’s 2nd annual “Honoring Our Heroes” Street Fair with proceeds benefiting Veterans Service Organization, along with both the Holbrook and Ronkonkoma Memorial Day Parades.

Assemblyman Smith said: “On Memorial Day, we take pause to recognize the brave men and women of each generation who courageously put on the uniform and made the ultimate sacrifice. The many freedoms and limitless opportunities we enjoy as Americans were paid for by those who gave their lives too soon in defense of a cause greater than themselves. For this we join together and give thanks as a grateful nation. May God watch over the Gold Star families who endure much pain at the loss of their loved ones that we may be free, and continue to bless the United States of America.”
