Like Breezy Point , the Rockaways and others areas of the coastline, Coney Island was hard hit. While We were blessed that the Wall sustained no damage but we are cognizant that so many others lost so much. The wall, besides helping to support the work of foundations like the Siller Foundation, we are doing what good we can, where we can.
Marie Lo Prestie lost nearly everything in the Hurricane.She also lost her husband Anthony 2 years ago. Anthony served 4 years in the US Army, and at his funeral she was given a US flag. It was lost in the destruction of Hurricane Sandy. Because the military only gives out one flag to a deceased’s family, the would not replace the flag for Maria.When her sister, Alice Dunn called, we decided to do everything to help.With the help of the Jewish War Veterans and Dignity Memorial, Wall Founder, Sol Moglen, presented her a replacement flag in a presidential case on Saturday, Dec. 1st, 2012. Please check the attachments for the story.
