The American flag that flew from the clock tower at Jamaica Hospital MediSys Family Care Center building had been worn down from the elements, but Sen. Joseph P. Addabbo donated a new flag as a replacement to celebrate the 85th anniversary of the United Service Organizations (USO).
Addabbo donated the last flag less than a year ago in August, 2025, but the severe winter weather and high winds have required an urgent replacement atop the iconic building, located at 91-20 Atlantic Ave.
