HARRISON NY HAMLET HUB: Harrison, NY Residents Among Nominees To Service Academies
Rep. Nita Lowey nominated 29 students to service academies this year
By Brian Harrod
Twenty-nine students were nominated by Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D-Westchester/Rockland) for admission to the nation's service academies. Two are from Harrison. Recently she honored them all at her annual Service Academy Recognition Ceremonies.
"These distinguished young Americans have answered the call to duty," said Lowey. "I commend their accomplishments and look forward to their continued success in service to our nation. It's an honor to work with local veterans, who have made great sacrifices to our nation, to nominate such impressive young men and women to the service academies."
The nominees come from many communities in the 17th Congressional District, including 13 nominees from Rockland and 16 from Westchester. As of today, 11 students have been accepted by an academy for admission this summer. The ceremony took place at Westchester Community College.
Lowey thanked local veterans who attended the April 23 ceremony for their service to our country, and noted her work in Congress on behalf of veterans, including her support for the largest funding increase in the history of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and for expanded access to educational opportunities and health care for all veterans.

Each year the hospital hosts the event to recognize and thank the women and men who provide more than 45,000 hours of service each year.
Norman G. Roth, Greenwich Hospital president and chief executive officer, said volunteers play a key role in the hospital’s ability to provide an exceptional patient experience.
“Compassionate volunteers like you are what make Greenwich Hospital a place where patients feel welcome and safe. I want to express my deepest gratitude for all that you do, each and every day, to make Greenwich Hospital number one in patient care and patient safety. We could not do it without you,” Roth told the audience gathered at the Greenwich Country Club on April 20.
Christine Randolph, Auxiliary president, also thanked the volunteers for their commitment.
The Auxiliary includes more than 500 adult and youth volunteers who serve at the main hospital campus at on Perryridge Road, the Smilow Cancer Hospital Greenwich Hospital campus at Lafayette Place, and at the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop on Hamilton Avenue.
Stacey Green, director of Volunteer Services, spoke about the strong bond that dedicated volunteers develop with patients, families and hospital staff.
“You are not just volunteers in burgundy, pink and green uniforms. You are an amazing and inspirational team. We are lucky to have you as part of the Greenwich Hospital family,” she said. The Greenwich Hospital event capped off National Volunteer Appreciation Week from April 15 - 21.
