Holy Angels student paints hydrants in Memorial Day tribute
Nolan Keegan, a sixth grader at Holy Angels Catholic Academy, wants to join the armed forces when he grows up. He’s not sure if he will become a Navy SEAL or if he’s destined to be Marine. “But I want to join the military,” he told the Brooklyn Eagle.
Nolan, 11, isn’t waiting to grow up to show his deep love for his country.
On Wednesday, he spearheaded an after-school project for Memorial Day that involved giving the fire hydrants on the Bay Ridge block where Holy Angels Academy is located a patriotic fresh coat of paint. He chose the colors carefully. The fire hydrants on 74th Street between Third and Fourth avenues were painted red, white and blue by Nolan and his friends.
