NY Congressional Medal Ceremony
Donation protected
Please help us! We are raising funds to honor our New York/New Jersey Borinqueneer veterans with a New York Borinqueneers Congressional Gold Medal Awards Ceremony where they will receive replica medals.. There are many veterans who still have not received their medals. On Sunday, July 17, 2016 from 12-4pm, we will have a luncheon awards ceremony at Hunter College’s West Building, Lecture Hall W714, New York, NY.
Due to limited seating, this event is by Invitation-only. But the Ceremony will be live streamed beginning at 1:30pm so that you can watch it from your computers no matter where you are :
