By Nelson A. King
Mayor-elect and Brooklyn
Borough President Eric Adams
and Senate Majority Leader
Charles “Chuck” Schumer
marked Veterans Day by visiting
patients and staff at the
Manhattan campus of the VA
New York Harbor Healthcare
System, thanking them for
their service.
A statement from the Brooklyn
Borough President’s Office
said both legislators spoke with
senior executive personnel,
doctors and nurses as part of
their walk-through of an inpatient
wing at the hospital.
They shared their “gratitude
for their care and support of
the city’s veteran population,”
the statement said.
According to 2019 US Census
Bureau data, about 138,000
veterans live in the New York
City area.
“Borough President Adams
expressed particular appreciation
for the opportunity to
share his gratitude for service
with veterans such as 95-yearold
Le Roy Herbert Bunnell,
Jr., who served in the Battle of
Okinawa during World War II,”
the statement said.
“As a former chair of the Veterans,
Homeland Security and
Military Affairs Committee in
the State Senate, I know all too
well the sacrifices and struggles
of our service members and
their families — all incredible
New Yorkers who give so much
to our communities,” Adams
said.
“Our heroes protected our city
and country, and they deserve
Healthy Gums and Teeth for a Lifetime!

better than what they’re getting
right now,” he added. “We have
to go above and beyond to connect
them to the services they
need that enable them to lead
healthy, prosperous lives.”
Adams emphasized that the
city should double its efforts to
help all its veterans, through
the Department of Veterans
Services (DVS) and the nonprofit
community, “to expand
on its mission to connect and
empower the veteran community.”
