Queens VFW Named for WWII Veteran

On the 69th anniversary of D-Day, the VFW in Long Island City was officially renamed the Rocco Moretto Post 23-48. Moretto is an 88-year-old Astoria native who stormed the beaches of Normandy and survived many bloody battles in Europe to make it back home. Even though the day was about Moretto, he gave thanks to the younger generation of veterans now serving in the Armed Forces.
