The Last Garden in England by Julia Kelly

Notable Monuments To Veterans Across The United States

Veterans Day honors the millions of men and women who have sacriﬁced much to serve in the United States military. Veterans Day is commemorated each year on November 11 because it was that day in 1918 when an armistice was reached between combatants in World War I, which estimates suggest claimed the lives of as many as 22 million people.

There are many ways for Americans to celebrate veterans on Veterans Day. Visiting war memorials can instill a greater sense of appreciation for the men and women who have served in the United States military. The following are some notable war memorials honoring veterans across the United States.

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is an iconic memorial located in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia. Cemetery oﬃcials note New York Congressman and World War I veteran Hamilton Fish, Jr., played an integral role in establishing the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier by proposing legislation that provided for the internment of one unknown American soldier killed during WWI. Guards are now present at the tomb 24/7, and visitors, including U.S. presidents and

foreign dignitaries, typically lay a wreath at the tomb to honor the sacriﬁces of all U.S. veterans.

Korean War Veterans Memorial

The Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. honors the roughly 1.5 million American veterans who fought alongside forces from the United Nations in a conﬂict that lasted from 1950 to 1953. Nineteen sculptures depicting U.S. servicemen on patrol during the conﬂict are among the many notable components of this moving memorial, which also features a wall and pool of remembrance that display the names of the more than 36,000 Americans killed during the Korean War.

Liberty Memorial

The Liberty Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri, was built in 1926 to honor the brave American service members who lost their lives in World War I. The Liberty Memorial, which is now known as the National World War I Museum and Memorial, is an iconic landmark in Kansas City that features the Liberty Memorial Tower, which rises 217 feet about Memorial Courtyard and 268 feet above the North Lawn. The top of the

tower emits a ﬂame at night to create a stunning visual. Memory Hall on the east side of the Liberty Memorial Tower containing a portion of the Panthéon de la Guerre, an iconic French painting that depicts the Allied nations of World War I.

USS Arizona Memorial

The USS Arizona Memorial in Honolulu, Hawaii, is dedicated to preserving the memories of the sacriﬁces of servicemen who fought in the Paciﬁc theater throughout World War II. The memorial marks the resting place of more than 1,100 sailors during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, an event that led to U.S. involvement in World War II. The memorial is accessible exclusively by boat and the sunken remains of the battleship USS Arizona straddle the site.

These are just four of the many notable landmarks that commemorate the sacriﬁce and service of U.S. military members over the course of the nation’s history.

West Babylon Elementary Schools Kick Off Red Ribbon Week

Elementary schools across the West Babylon School District were a sea of red on Oct. 27 as students and staff came together to celebrate Red Ribbon Week and show their support for living drug free.

Tooker Avenue and Santapogue Elementary Schools held their own

celebrations, while South Bay and John F. Kennedy Elementary Schools joined together to show their support for the cause, thanks to the support of each school’s ParentTeacher Association.

Joined by administrators, board of education members and local

officials, students learned about the history and importance of Red Ribbon Week and pledged to make healthy, positive choices. Throughout the week, students will participate in themed spirit days to continue promoting kindness, respect and a drug-free lifestyle.

The Calla and Mulroy Families were honored at St. Anthony’s Black & Gold Gala 2025 on Saturday, October 18, 2025

The Calla Family The Calla Family

The Calla family genuinely believes their sons, Jack and Guy, were meant to attend Saint Anthony’s High School. They cherish the years their sons spent at Saint Anthony’s and the wonderful families, staff, and administrators they met and bonded with. Their family’s path was destined to cross with the Mulroy family.

Guy and Lisa met during their first year at Hofstra University. Guy is the Clerk of the Suffolk County Legislature, and Lisa is an Assistant Dean at Suffolk County Community College, as well as an attorney and mediator. Both are actively involved in volunteer work in Smithtown and throughout Suffolk County. Their eldest son, Jack, graduated from Saint Anthony’s in 2019

and the University of Alabama in 2023, where he enjoyed playing rugby. Their youngest son, Guy, graduated from Saint Anthony’s in 2020 and the University of Alabama in 2024. Both sons are now thriving in full-time positions where they had previously interned before graduation.

Jack and Guy played football and baseball during their years at Saint Anthony’s.

One of their teammates on both teams was T.J. Mulroy. T.J.’s twin sister, Julia, a vibrant 16-year-old young lady, was diagnosed with an aggressive, incurable kidney disease. A transplant was her only chance of survival.

Lisa met Shannon Mulroy in the bleachers at a Saint Anthony’s baseball game, where Shannon shared her

daughter’s story. Shortly after their conversation, Lisa was screened as a potential donor. When she learned she was a match, she made the decision— one that gave her an instant feeling of peace. In the spirit of Saint Francis, seeing the beauty of life, Lisa gave Julia that gift in June of 2019.

Inspired by Julia’s recovery, Lisa’s husband Guy became a non-directed donor in September of 2020, during the COVID pandemic when living donations were severely restricted. Coming full circle, John and Shannon Mulroy also each donated a kidney to two others in need in 2021. “Our faith brought us to Saint Anthony’s and into the Friar Family, and love did the rest.”

The Mulroy Family The Mulroy Family

When Julia and Thomas (TJ, as many call him) started high school at Saint Anthony’s, they were 14 years old and about to begin a new chapter in their lives. Choosing Saint Anthony’s wasn’t an easy decision— John and his family were alumni of another Catholic high school just a mile from our home. Little did we know that God had a different plan for our family.

wA few months into Julia’s freshman year, our lives were turned upside down when she was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease

called Focal Segmental Glomerular Sclerosis (FSGS). We heard three things no parent—or patient— ever wants to hear: there is no known cause, no FDA-approved medication, and worst of all, no cure.

Julia’s health declined rapidly, and in less than two years she was in endstage kidney failure and had to begin dialysis. One day, while talking with Lisa Calla—TJ’s friend and baseball teammate’s mom—on the Saint Anthony’s baseball field, I asked if she would share

a flyer I had painfully created, asking for help in finding a kidney donor for Julia. Without hesitation, she said she would—and that she would say a prayer.

Four months and one day later, Lisa saved Julia’s life by donating her kidney.

Our journey has been anything but easy, but we are forever grateful and incredibly blessed to have been led to Saint Anthony’s—where God connected us with Lisa and the entire Calla family.

Suffolk County Begins Comprehensive Water Resources Management Study

Suffolk County Executive Edward Romaine and Deputy Presiding Officer Legislator Steven J. Flotteron, along with legislative colleagues and environmental advocates, gathered along Carlls River in Babylon and pledged to preserve the health of our water in the County.

Following its recent passage, Romaine signed into law Introductory Resolution 1690-2025, appropriating funds in connection with a multipleyear water reuse and runoff remediation study with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to monitor and evaluate five rivers within the County. The project will provide a multifaceted plan to protect our groundwater resources to improve the health of these tributaries and the bays they feed into. Presently, Suffolk County’s sole-source aquifer provides drinking water

for 1.5 million residents, using more than 50 streams and rivers throughout the County.

“It is important to get the real science in this study. Government can’t do this alone, it is important to work with Environmental Groups such as: Citizens Campaign for the Environment; Seatuck Environmental Association; Save the Great South Bay and South Shore Estuary Preserve; Peconic Bay Keepers,” said County Executive Romaine.

USGS monitoring stations will be installed and operated at Carlls River, Babylon; Sampawams Creek, Babylon; Connetquot River, Oakdale; Nissequogue River, Smithtown; and the Peconic River.

“It is of the utmost importance to maintain water quality to preserve public health, economic stability, and

environmental resilience, but increasing challenges, such as nutrient pollution, emerging contaminants, and saltwater intrusion, will require science-driven, proactive solutions. This initiative will establish five strategically located stations that will continuously measure key water-quality indicators such as water temperature, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, and nitrate,” said Legislator Flotteron.

Public engagement is considered a key element of effective water stewardship. To increase awareness and access to real-time data, USGS proposes installing a single kiosk at the H. Lee Dennison Building in Hauppauge.

“I am proud to be leading this effort with our County Executive and USGS. This data will provide insights into groundwater sustainability and trends in water-quality conditions over a range of hydraulic conditions, thereby informing decision-

making on stormwater management, wastewater treatment, and septic system improvements. This is essential for sustaining the highest quality in Public Health,” said Legislator Flotteron.
