Suffolk County and New York State Officials Congratulate\u00a0Jack Esposito, Smithtown Troop 565, on Becoming an Eagle Scout<\/h4>\n

Suffolk County Legislators Robert Trotta and Lesley Kennedy, County Comptroller John Kennedy, and Assemblyman Michael Fitzpatrick recognized John \u201cJack\u201d Esposito for achieving the esteemed rank of Eagle Scout at his recent Court of Honor.<\/p>\n

For his Eagle Scout Community Service Project, Jack designed, built and installed an outdoor memorial to encase a piece of steel from the World Trade Center at the Town of Brookhaven Volunteer Firefighters\u2019 Museum. The memorial will serve as a permanent remembrance of all the lives lost on September 11, 2001. This project was very meaningful to Jack, whose Father and Uncle are both firefighters in the New York City Fire Department, as well as Eagle Scouts.<\/p>\n

\u201cJack has demonstrated he is capable of responsibility and leadership by completing the tasks necessary to become an Eagle Scout. He achieved this distinction and award prior to the age of 18 and this accomplishment is one that he will have for the rest of his life. He is an inspiration to others,\u201d said Suffolk County Legislator Robert Trotta.<\/p>\n
