On May 22, New York City Council Deputy Leader Sandra Ung hosted the 5th Annual Flushing Memorial Day Observance in Kissena Park. Held in front of the Korean War Memorial located by Rose Avenue and Parsons Boulevard, this is a tradition held by Ung since 2022, where she honors the fallen men and women who served for this country.
“Memorial Day is not just another holiday or the unofficial start of summer,” said Ung. “It is a solemn occasion and a time to pause, reflect, and honor the brave men and women who laid down their lives to protect the freedoms we are so fortunate to enjoy every day. Their sacrifice made possible the opportunities and liberties that define our nation, and we have a responsibility to ensure their service is never forgotten.”
