This past weekend at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Goshen where I had the honor and privilege of honoring those 40 soldiers who all lost their lives during the Battle of the Hindenburg Line, one of the most famous battles during World War I.

Our Orange County Executive, Steven Neuhaus shared his thoughts on this infamous day reminding the crowd about the sacrifices these brave men made and all were from Orange County.

The ceremony included the Nam Knights led by the President, John “Cheech” Richichi who donated a POW/MIA chair (see photo) that was set next to the various monuments dedicated to those POW/MIA soldiers in WWII, Korea, Viet Nam.

Think who will clear our borders, put our taxpayer dollars back where they belong and not in the hands of all these illegals.

American who have worked their entire lives and paid into the system are going without while the illegal migrants are receiving food, housing and medical care.
