Friends,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Americans can sit under the tree of freedom because it has been watered with\u00a0the sacrifice of our fallen soldiers.\u00a0Over 230,000 veterans live in New York City, as well as over 250,000 spouses, children, and other family members of those heroes.\u00a0Brooklyn is proud of its veterans, both past and present, and Memorial Day is but one of countless occasions throughout the year for us to say thank you with words and actions alike.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One of those important actions is reopening the Brooklyn War Memorial<\/a> in Cadman Plaza Park<\/a>, which has been shuttered for a quarter of a century. I am proud to announce my plan to allocate\u00a0capital funding that will help reopen this memorial to the public. If approved by the City, I will designate half a million dollars in this year’s budget to upgrade the bathrooms to be ADA-compliant and to install an elevator between the two floors of the building, core needs that are necessary to reactivate this important and honored space.\u00a0It is a small thing to do for the great sacrifice of the over 11,000 Brooklynites that gave their lives during World War II. I encourage all Brooklynites to take part in this effort by visiting the Cadman Park Conservancy’s GoFundMe page<\/a> and spreading the word.<\/div>\n
\n
\n

 <\/p>\n

My administration is committed to improving the quality of life for every veteran in Brooklyn and their family. That starts, but does not end, with expressing our eternal gratitude this Memorial Day.<\/p>\n
