May marked Military Appreciation Month, and it was an honor to be recognized by the New York State Assembly for the vital role the Capital Region’s military plays in strengthening our national security and local communities. Sponsored by Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara, the recognition brought together members of the Capital Region Chamber’s United Military Affairs Council (UMAC) alongside representatives from the 109th Airlift Wing, Navy Reserve Center Schenectady, and the NY Army National Guard’s 42nd Combat Aviation Brigade at the State Capitol. Thank you, Assemblyman Santabarbara, for your continued support of our military and their mission.
