On Saturday, December 13th, at 11:00 a.m., on the eve of the anniversary of the "Battle of the Bulge," and the deadliest winter ever faced by American forces during World War II, Congressman Steve Israel will ask veterans of that battle to step forward and be recognized at the American Airpower Museum at Republic Airport, 1230 New Highway, Farmingdale. He will be joined by historian, author and former Long Island Congressman Robert Mrazek who will speak about American courage in the face of hopeless odds during World War II, whether it was in the Pacific or Europe.
American Airpower Museum Vice President Jim Vocell said the museum is making a special appeal to all those who fought in the battle to join them in the museum's historic hangar on the morning of December 13th. Surrounded by warbirds similar to the American fighters, bombers and transport planes that provided the infantry with the support needed to break the back of the Nazi attack, Congressman Israel and former Congressman Mrazek will focus on the individual acts of courage that have defended our liberties.
For anyone interesting in attending, this will be a free event, and they now have HEAT in the hangar!
