As a former member of both the Coast Guard and the Air Force, Assemblyman David G. McDonough (R, C, I – Merrick) is passionate about ensuring veterans receive the support they deserve. At a press conference today in Albany, the Assemblyman joined the New York State Council of Veterans Organizations and members from both houses for a bipartisan call for enactment of legislation that truly delivers for New York State veterans.

“We have all driven around our communities and seen on the backs of cars the yellow ‘Support Our Troops’ ribbons. While this is a nice tribute, we must ensure our troops are supported not just when they are ‘over there,’ but when they come home as well. We must come together to support our troops’ past, present and future,” stated McDonough.
