ALBANY – Legislation sponsored by Senator Terrence Murphy (R, Yorktown) and signed into law by the governor grants the Vietnam Veterans of America group parity with other veterans’ organizations.
Until last week, it was not considered an official benevolent order, but that has changed now, noted Murphy.
“They will now officially have a space at the Capital up in Albany that they can put their flags, their relics and store their history there and they will also have a little office up there that would be available for them and allow them to right the wrong of 50 years,” Murphy said.
The measure to give official status to the Vietnam Veterans of America was sponsored in the Assembly by Todd Kaminsky (D-Long Beach).
