Meet Our Military Hero: Mel Cohen ⛑️✨

Mel Cohen, a U.S. Air Force veteran and retired Suffolk County police officer, has dedicated his life to serving others in honor of his brother Gerald, who died in Vietnam. He supports veterans across New York, especially those in prison and Gold Star families. Mel is active in many organizations, including Vietnam Veterans of America and Wreaths Across America.
