On Veterans Day, Woodmere resident Max Marcus, who served in the Navy as a petty officer, third class, was inducted into the New York State Senate Veterans’ Hall of Fame by State Sen. Todd Kaminsky, a Democrat who represents the Five Towns. After fighting declined in North Africa, Marcus was transferred to the European campaign and fought in the invasion of Italy. Kaminsky recognized Marcus for his service in a socially-distant private ceremony at the Marcus home in the presence of immediate family. “We all owe Max our gratitude for his service to our country, along with his commitment to freedom and family, which is why I’m proud to have nominated him as our district’s inductee to the New York State Veterans Hall of Fame. I hope this recognition brings him and his family pride for generations to come.”The State Senate’s Veterans’ Hall of Fame was created to honor and recognize outstanding veterans from the New York who distinguished themselves both in military and civilian life.
