The Incorporated Village of Williston Park held its annual Organization meeting on Monday, April 4, 2022. At the meeting Hometown Hero Dad, Ted Fengarinas of Williston Park presented an American Flag to the Village of Williston Park.
Mr. Fengarinas asked Mayor Paul Ehrbar to accept this American Flag on behalf of his son Staff Sergeant Nicholas Fengarinas. This flag was given in gratitude for the care packages sent to Staff Sergeant Fengarinas and his Unit during Operation Freedom in Afghanistan. Staff Sergeant Fengarinas and his Unit were grateful for the outpouring of thoughtfulness the entire Village of Williston Park displayed.
This American flag was flown during a Combat Mission in Afghanistan on a UH-60 Blackhawk in support of “Operation Freedom’s Sentinel” on the 27th day of September 2019. Currently, Staff Sergeant Fengarinas is serving as Crew Chief with Army National Guard B Company 142 at MacArthur.
