Columbus Statue Rededication Ceremony in Mineola, NY
On Saturday, October 12 at 10:00 am, the John Michael Marino Lodge and Loggia Glen Cove of the Sons of Italy will be holding a rededication ceremony for the Christopher Columbus statue in Mineola, NY. The statue was not viciously attacked like so many have been in recent years, but was showing wear and tear due to being 60 years old. “This project not only revitalizes a beloved monument but also ensures that it remains a symbol of our rich Italian heritage and cultural pride for generations to come,” said a press release from the statue revitalization committee.

“Sleeping but glorious… dead but victorious”
“We couldn’t tell you who half the people are that come and visit, but they visit peacefully, they read the names of soldiers that have plaques, they read the monuments, they are remembered! If these monuments are left to collect dust in storage they will be forgotten. Valor hasn’t saved its last monument yet! Lest we forget!!”
– Facebook post from Valor Memorial Park
It is a beautiful thing that these monuments can be appreciated, and warriors remembered, that otherwise wouldn’t, thanks to Valor Memorial Park. What they are doing is important and meaningful.
