Local Legislator Honors Those Who Fight for Veterans


Women Veterans Appreciation Day in Suffolk County | Suffolk County Legislature

Suffolk County Legislator Nick Caracappa honored two women with a record of serving those that served our great nation, in honor of “Women Veterans Appreciation Day” in Suffolk County.

During their most recent General Meeting, Legislator Caracappa honored retired Chief Master Sergeant Marcelle Leis, who completed 24 years of service with the United States Air Force and the New York Air National Guard.

Leis now serves as the Director of the Suffolk County Veteran Services Agency.

Also honored was Eva Casale, the founder of Team EVA (Every Veteran Appreciated).

Casale recently completed a grueling 184-mile running tour, completing seven marathons in seven days to honor our troops, veterans, and fallen heroes.

“I encourage everyone to join me in celebrating these two remarkable women and their contributions. Let’s take a moment to thank all our veterans for their service and dedication,” said Legislator Caracappa.
