Pulaski St. Library Named for PFC Garfield Langhorn

RHS ALUMNI AND AN AMERICAN HERO--

At their January 25th meeting,
the Board of Education voted unanimously to name the Pulaski Street School Library after PFC Garfield Langhorn, a 1967 graduate of RHS (which was then housed at the Pulaski Street School), who was killed in action in the Vietnam War, when, during a rescue mission, he threw himself on a live grenade to save his fellow soldiers. Langhorn was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor--the only Suffolk County recipient of that honor.

A bronze plaque bearing the name of the library was placed over the library's entrance and another bronze plaque with the details of PFC Langhorn's life was inside the library below a framed picture of Langhorn.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held in September 2011. >MORE
