New York State Senate Majority Leader honored Greenburgh Resident Carmine DiPasquale as her selection for the State Senate’s Veterans Hall of Fame on Tuesday June 7 at the Town of Greenburgh Town Hall. DiPasquale served in the U.S. Navy aboard the Destroyer USS William Keith. During the height of the Cold War, DiPasquale’s ship participated in the Cuban naval blockade. He suffered permanent hearing loss due to the cannon blasts in the gun turret he manned. DiPasquale was awarded the National Defense Medal and the Armed Forces Expeditionary Forces Medal.
Recognizing the devastating consequences of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, DiPasquale helped form the Greenburgh Veterans Advisory Committee, whose primary mission is veteran suicide prevention. He is also an active member of the Vietnam Veterans of America, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans, and the American Legion.
