On May 16, 2009 members of Suffolk
County Homefront, Inc participated
in a homecoming event for Cpl
Christopher Levi from Holbrook. Cpl
Levi was severely wounded in Iraq,
March 17, 2008. He lost both of his
legs and much of the use of his
right hand. He has been at Walter
Reed Army Medical Center in
Washington DC since that time
rehabilitating.. While he has been
hard at work mending his wounded
body, his home in Holbrook has
undergone major renovations to
accommodate his needs.
On May 16, the community poured out
in the thousands at Long Island
MacArthur Airport to show Chris
their appreciation and support and
to lead him in a procession back to
the place where he grew up....only
it was not the same place he had
left! It was a pleasure and an honor
for the members of this organization
to have participated in this well
deserved homecoming!
