Team Zeldin has been hard at work trying get their candidate across the finish line and that entails beating twelve-year incumbent Congressman Tim Bishop. However, despite the many hours of volunteer work, dozens of campaign workers have been also collecting non-perishable food for homeless Veterans.
“I greatly appreciate the work of the campaign staff and this collection speaks on the type of people involved in my campaign, I can’t say enough about these people,” he explained. The Homeless Veteran Shelter is in Yaphank.
Lee Zeldin served as a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division and still serves as a major in the Army Reserves. He is known as a proud veteran who appreciates the sacrifices all veterans have made to protect our freedoms.
“I not only look out for their interests, I fight hard every day to make sure they have everything they need and deserve. That includes writing the law that protects our fallen veterans and their families from protests at military burials. I was also successful in securing funding for the PFC Joseph Dwyer Program, a statewide program I launched to help returning veterans cope with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).”
