Copiague SD Custodians Get Salute
"We were just overwhelmed," said CSEA Custodial and Grounds unit President Pat Cirasole. "We couldn't believe what they sent us," he said. It was really a case of one good turn resulting in another. A couple of years ago the custodial unit held a successful campaign called Operation Troop Support. The custodians and grounds-men collected many boxes full of personal care items, paperbacks, socks, snacks and pre-paid phone cards to send to the U.S. troops from our area serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. They gave the goods to the Air National Guard. "We serve our own community by working in the schools every day. So we wanted to let the American service members know that we were thinking about them, and thank them for their military service," said CSEA Custodial and Grounds Unit President Pat Cirasole. "But we never expected anything for it. Now we have to find a very special place to display this, said Cirasole. "We're very proud of it," he said.
