“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” John Fitzgerald Kennedy

As Veterans of this Country we call on Noam Bramson to pay heed to President Kennedy’s inspiring words and end his historic record of disrespect to Veterans.

The Bramson Record:

* While our troops were fighting in Desert Storm, Noam Bramson, as a college student, led the fight to keep the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program (ROTC) off the Harvard Campus.

* Bramson ordered his staff to tear down the flag steeped in American history from flying over the New Rochelle Armory. He confiscated the first battle flag of the United States and U.S. Navy and Marine Corps deriding the flag as “racist” and “offensive.”

* As a Councilman, Bramson voted to eliminate a significant piece of New Rochelle military history by completely leveling the former Army Base Fort Slocum.

* Bramson reneged on his promise to the Veterans and the Citizens of New Rochelle by deliberately allowing the New Rochelle Armory to fall into disrepair.

* Bramson thwarted the Veterans’ efforts to save the New Rochelle Armory by refusing to grant us an opportunity to present our proposal for an adaptive re-use of the Armory.

* He did not support funding for the annual Memorial Day Parade in New Rochelle

We Fought for Bramson but Bramson Doesn’t Fight for Us!
