The
Garfield Langhorn Memorial Garden Dedication
The Pulaski Street School
would like to thank Long Island Compost for
donating the labor and materials for the new Garfield
Langhorn Memorial Garden built around the flagpole
in front of the school. Pfc. Garfield Langhorn, who sacrificed
his life by covering a grenade with his body in the Vietnam
War, was an RHS graduate.
On Saturday, May 8th, Pulaski Street students
finished the planting and the school and community held a
short dedication ceremony in the garden. Dr. Pinckney greeted
and thanked LI Compost CEO, (below far left) Charles Vigliotti,
for a beautiful living tribute to Pfc. Langhorn. Board of
Education President Mary Ellen Harkin and (above L-R) Senator
LaValle, Riverhead Supervisor Cardinale and Assemblyperson
Acampora also spoke. (above far R) Pfc. Langhorn’s mother
accepted a proclamation on behalf of the family from Senator
LaValle. |
