HONORING A FALLEN US SOLDIER/NYPD OFFICER

February 4th, 2023,

Hi All,

Hope everyone had a great holiday! Wanted to shoot over a quick note about an event that I throw every year honoring a childhood friend who lost his life while serving in Iraq. This year marks the 18th year anniversary of this event in which we hold on behalf of SSG James McNaughton, a New York City police officer and Army Reservist who was KIA by sniper fire while guarding prisoners at a camp in Iraq.

The event itself is on Saturday afternoon, February 4th, 2023, at Mulcahy's Concert Hall in Wantagh, NY between 1pm – 7pm. The proceeds from the event are donated to multiple great charities including but not limited to the Wounded Warriors Project and the Northport P.T.S.D Veterans Association, among others. Our goal being to ensure that we keep Jimmy's memory alive, while honoring all of the fallen heroes who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and raising awareness and support for veterans and service members who incurred a physical or mental injury, illness, or wound, due to their military service.

Who this event is about: I’ve attached a PDF file here that speaks to the background on the life of Jimmy. However, you can just watch this 75 second video of a congressman speaking about the type of person Jimmy was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH3F0HnG3rw

What this event is: This is NOT the stereotypical charity event, but more of a celebration/party with entertainment including live bands, DJs, the USO and much more (see News12
coverage) There is a large raffle that includes hundreds of awesome prizes (trips, TVs, sports/concert tix, etc.). And of course there will be tons of drink specials and free food all day. We putatonofworkintothisandithasturnedintooneofthelargestannualeventsonLongIsland. For

th
anyone local on the Island or even in the city and don’t have any plans on February 4 , come on

down and I promise you’ll have a great time.

The venue, Mulcahy’s is easily accessible via the LIRR (Babylon Train Line) approx. 35 minute ride from Penn Station and is located right across the street from the rail.
