Brooklyn’s Veterans Treatment Court hosts annual Memorial Day celebration
The Brooklyn Veterans Treatment Court invited judges, attorneys, veterans, former clients and members of the U.S. Military into the courthouse in Downtown Brooklyn on Friday for its annual Memorial Day remembrance event.
“This is a courthouse dedicated to doing what’s right and what’s just,” said Justice Matthew J. D’Emic, administrative judge of the Kings County Supreme Court, Ciminal Term. “If we didn’t remember our veterans, then we wouldn’t be doing what’s right and just. I want to thank Judge Brennan for doing this because it’s a lot of work, but it’s important. Doing this, and remembering the people who keep us safe, is such an important thing.”
Hon. Michael J. Brennan, presiding judge of the court, served as the master of ceremony. Taylor Cannon sang the national anthem, Sgt. Michael Garcia read the invocation, Mary-Jane Dilberian performed the POW/MIA ceremony, and the NYS Courts Ceremonial Unit brought the pomp and circumstance.
