CSEA Long Island Region members and guests met at Calverton National Cemetery to honor members of the U.S. military who gave their lives while in service at the CSEA Long Island Region’s Annual Memorial Day Ceremony. 

This year’s ceremony was held at the grave of James A. Cunningham Jr., the grandfather of CSEA member Peter Starken, who was accompanied by members of his family.

During the ceremony, there were readings about fallen soldiers as well as kind words spoken about Cunningham.
