The Commack School District paid tribute to veterans and active military members with a Tribute to the Troops ceremony and lacrosse game on Tuesday, April 25th. Held at Commack High School’s Heroes Memorial Field, the event united members of the Commack community and the lacrosse team to honor the brave men and women who serve our country.

Dr. Jordan F. Cox, the son of a veteran and Superintendent of Commack Schools, reflected on the sacrifices that families make when a loved one enlists in the service of our country. Distinguished speakers included Suffolk District Attorney Ray Tierney, Edmund Smith, Huntington Town Supervisor, and Edward Wehrheim, Smithtown Town Supervisor.
