Longtime Town of Brookhaven employee and Vietnam Veteran Walter Maresco was inducted into the New York State Senate Veterans Hall of Fame in Albany. The Air Force veteran is the nominee of New York State Senator Dean Murrary.
“A truly wonderful and deserving person. Walter is a longtime Town of Brookhaven employee who serves with honor and distinction. I see Walter from time to time when I pull up to Town Hall in the morning, or at times passing near the law department, and my day is always better because of the brief conversation. God bless you Walter, thank you for your service to our country and to the residents of the Town of Brookhaven,” said Brookhaven Town Supervisor Dan Panico.
In the mid-1960’s Mr. Maresco was stationed in Okinawa, Japan, when he volunteered to go to Vietnam where he served for over a year and attained the rank of Airman 1st Class.
