One volunteer's mission to make sure local veterans are never forgotten

More than 600 banners, each one honoring a local veteran. They recognize men and women who have served our country throughout the years, across all branches of the military. You'll find them all over Lake Ronkonkoma, including this display at Raynor Beach County Park. For the past five years, Bobby has volunteered his time with the Lake Ronkonkoma Heritage Association, helping hang and maintain the tributes. I want to do it to do my part of saying thank you. He's hung about 3200 banners since then and takes them all down to Bobby doesn't even live in the zip code. He says it's his way of thanking those who serve. As a matter of fact, it keeps getting bigger and bigger because people keep seeing it and then saying I want my. Son or father or grandpa, I want a banner. So the banners just keep coming. For Lenore Baca, it's personal. Her grandfather and his brother are honored side by side on Hawkins Avenue. She says the community relies on volunteers like Bobby to make it all happen. Oh my God, couldn't do it without him. He does it all. And she says the goal is simple. We don't want to forget our veterans. Making sure these local heroes are remembered, not just on Veterans Day, but all year long. In Lake Ronkonkoma, Jen Selig, News 12.
