Comptroller Kennedy throws first pitch at Ducks Stadium
August 13,2025 - Comptroller Kennedy pays his respects for William Thomas Cleary, a 1st lieutenant in the U.S. Army Air Force, at Calverton National Cemetery. Cleary, a Lake Ronkonkoma native, was declared missing-in-action after his plane was shot down during WWII and never had a funeral. We want to thank the Lake Ronkonkoma Heritage Association and its president, Ellyn Okvist, United States military & cemetery officials, and our veterans for making this ceremony possible.
