You’d Think Since They Took The Trouble Of Traipsing Over To The Post Office They’d Also Throw In A Bag Of Bagels . . . Or Something
Just because someone asks for one particular thing doesn’t mean you can’t use your head. At least don’t pat yourself on the back about it:
Army Pfc. Henry Chelune sent The News a letter last week asking for help getting a New York City flag and subway map.
“This would be a huge morale booster for me,” wrote Chelune, 25, a Ridgewood native who has been stationed in the volatile Kandahar Province since January.
“I have another six months in country and would like nothing more than to hang the flag of my city in my [sleeping quarters].”
The News picked up a subway map for Chelune. And in honor of Flag Day on Monday, Hizzoner donated the 5-by-8-foot New York City flag that has been flying outside City Hall for the past year.
Bloomberg even scrawled a personal message on the banner: “Stay safe and thanks for serving.”
And was the subway map even current?
