Musket balls whizzing past soldiers’ ears, canons hurling lead balls across muddy fields, the glint of bloody bayonets in the sunlight. These are the sounds and sights of wars fought for American freedom.
War veterans’ burial sites exist all over Long Island. Right here in Hempstead, 25 veterans are interred among the 500 graves in the churchyard of St. George’s Episcopal Church on Front Street. Wayne Haddock and his brother, Steve Haddock, are making sure that the gravesites — and the bravery — of those veterans won’t be forgotten.
Wayne, 59, and Steve, 62, are members of the Sons of the American Revolution, Long Island Chapter.
Wayne is also a member of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, Moses A. Baldwin Camp. His passion during his four years with the SAR has been finding veterans’ burial sites on Long island, starting with the American Revolutionary War. It was through his efforts that all 25 of the veterans buried at St. George’s were identified.
He further discovered that seven men interred at St. George’s, including the two Revolutionary War veterans, had committed themselves to the Articles of Association of the First Continental Congress in 1774. By doing so, they established their loyalty to the cause of the United States, and were designated patriots.

After more than four decades of dedicated service to Rockville Centre’s Hispanic community, Margarita Grasing has retired as executive director of the Hispanic Brotherhood, leaving behind a legacy of advocacy, resilience and compassion.
Grasing, who began her work as a Hispanic outreach coordinator for the village in 1979, helped establish the Hispanic Brotherhood in 1984 in response to the growing needs of Dominican and Latino immigrants settling in the area.
“There was a large community moving in the area, very Dominican, and they needed help with housing, employment,” Grasing said. “The kids in the school were a whole new crowd in there that they didn’t understand because they didn’t speak English.”
seniors. The agency also distributed 1,500 air filtration units to seniors in Rockville Centre and nearby areas, provided through a grant from United Way. The Brotherhood worked with local mayors and community centers to ensure older residents had access to clean indoor air.
“I really think it helped because it at least put their minds at ease, because nobody knew what to do,” she said.
Beyond emergency response, the Brotherhood has been an advocate for fair housing, supporting tenants facing eviction. The organization has taken local landlords and the Rockville Centre housing authority to court.
e had to just go by the law and make sure they were respecting the law for everybody, not only a few.
MARg ARITA gRASINg
Former executive director, Hispanic Brotherhood
What began as a grassroots initiative has evolved into a comprehensive social service organization, supporting seniors, families and youth across the area. From helping families navigate housing laws to feeding hundreds of seniors each year, she said that the organization became a cornerstone of support in Rockville Centre — thanks in large part to Grasing’s leadership. Today, she said the Brotherhood, located at 59 Clinton Ave., serves over 400 seniors and distributes more than 1,700 meals annually.
During the height of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, Grasing and her team delivered meals directly to homebound
“The biggest achievement, as far as I’m concerned, is that we helped a lot of families that would have never survived in this area, and we did it by going to court in many cases,” Grasing said. “We had to just go by the law and make sure they were respecting the law for everybody, not only a few.”
Among the organization’s most notable success stories are the students who receive homework help, support and mentorship from Brotherhood staff.
“They did their homework because that’s very important to be at the same level with the other kids,” Grasing said of the importance of the homework help program. “You have to pay attention to that homework, otherwise the school starts looking at it in a different way.”
While funding remains a big challenges, particularly in light of grant cuts to

More than 40 faith leaders representing Christian, Jewish and Muslim congregations from across New York’s 4th Congressional District gathered at Hofstra University on Friday for an informational session with Congresswoman Laura Gillen aimed at helping houses of worship and nonprofit faith-based organizations apply for the federal Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP).
“This is about protecting our holy places, our schools and our community centers,” Gillen said. “One of my highest priorities as your representative in Congress is ensuring that Long Islanders feel safe in their houses of worship. The truth is, if we don’t apply for these grants, those dollars will go elsewhere. Given the rise of threats facing religious communities, Long Island cannot afford to leave this funding on the table.”
The NSGP, run by the Department of Homeland Security and administered by FEMA, provides funding nonprofits may use for things such as target hardening, physical security upgrades, contracted security personnel, planning and training — measures intended to reduce the risk of violence at faith institutions and other
nonprofit sites. In Fiscal Year 2024, organizations in New York’s 4th District received roughly $2.25 million in NSGP funding.
Gillen said she has been pushing federal officials to release funds in a timely manner and urged congregations to be ready to act quickly when the application window appears.
“Earlier this year, I pressed the FEMA Administrator to release these funds after months of delay, because I knew how urgently they are needed,” Gillen said. “Now, with the application window expected to be short, it’s critical that our community is ready to act quickly.”
The session follows a districtwide outreach push by Gillen’s office to ensure faith communities across Hempstead, Oceanside, West Hempstead and neighboring towns understand eligibility and allowable uses for NSGP grants. Reverend William Earl Thomas of St. John Baptist Church in West Hempstead was among those present. The session offered a way to make federal dollars more accessible.
“Together we can bring more of our tax dollars back to Long Island, strengthen security at our houses of worship and give families the peace of mind they deserve,” Gillen said.

Revolution on May 17.
“I used the original military records to find the men,” Wayne said. “Then I researched them on Ancestry.com, on Fold3. com, and historic reference books about Queens County. Also, I ordered their military records from the National Archives.”
The history of St. George’s Church is virtually synonymous with the history of Hempstead.
Wayne’s mission is to keep the ancient gravesites visible. To this end, he and Steve personally visit the graveyards. When the original markers for the veterans have become too broken or weatherworn to be read, Wayne appeals to the Veterans Administration.
The VA will provide, for free, either an upright marker if the original monument is tumbledown, or a flat in-ground marker if the original monument is standing but illegible.
The markers are white stone, engraved with the soldiers’ names, birth and death years, and regiment.
Rev. Sean Wallace Rector, St. George’s Episcopal Church, Hempstead
On Sept. 20, the Haddock brothers brought the last of six white stone grave markers to St. George’s in Wayne’s truck. The upright marker was installed on the grave of a War of 1812 soldier named Joseph Dorlon, who was a corporal in the 2nd Regiment of the New York Militia (popularly known as Bedel’s Regiment).
Helping with the installation were Bill Johnson, facilities manager for St. George’s, vestry warden Donald Franklin, and Fr. Sean Wallace, rector.
“I am honored to contribute to the restoration of the grave markers of those who gave their lives for a free America,” said Franklin, who has participated in the installation of three of the markers.
On Sept. 5, Wayne Haddock installed four new markers for veterans’ graves at St. George’s Episcopal Church in Hempstead.
On May 17, a marker for Samuel Clowes of Bedel’s Regiment was installed, and on Sept. 5, new stones for three War of 1812 veterans and one Civil War private who died in action gleamed from the grass.
The installation of Dorlon’s monument on Sept. 20 completed the task that the Haddock brothers had set for themselves at St. George’s.
St. George’s can now guide visitors to the graves of two Revolutionary War veterans, 16 veterans of the War of 1812, five from the Civil War, one from World War I, and one man who served in both World Wars (Lt. Col. Albert Hendrix Stone, a military chaplain).

nationwide, Grasing remains hopeful. The organization recently received a $10,000 donation from the Hispanic Federation to provide grocery store vouchers to families during the holiday season.
Grasing also emphasized the importance of evolving to meet new community needs. Under her guidance, the Brotherhood recently launched a job training program in Hempstead for young adults interested in airport employment, which is a viable alternative for those not pursuing college. Grasing immigrated to the U.S. from Havana, Cuba in 1961, and her influence has extended far beyond Rockville Centre through her leadership roles with Nassau County, New York State and Molloy University. Her work earned her honors, including the Governor’s Award of Excellence and the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Award.
Now officially retired after 41 years and having passed the reins to her daughter, Marguerite Keller, Grasing is enjoying the chance to reflect and reconnect with the community she helped shape.
“The best time is knowing people,” she said. “I know so many people in this community, and the community itself in Rockville Centre helped us so much.”
Grasing was also honored by
Kelsie Radziski/Herald Margarita Grasing, standing, founded the Hispanic Brotherhood 41 years ago, and even though she just retired from the executive director position, she still visits from time to time to see attendees, like Sylvia Martinez, left, and Altragracie Estevez.
Mayor Francis X. Murray, Deputy Mayor Kathy Baxley, and the village trustees at the Sept. 8 board of trustees meeting.
“We extend our heartfelt gratitude and best wishes for a joyful and fulfill-
ing retirement, which she so very much deserves,” Baxley said at the meeting.

After four years of trying –the Creole Food Festival founded by Fabrice Armand was staged in Brooklyn — right under the Brooklyn Bridge at the Emily Roebling Plaza.
More than 700 people turned out for the event, which has grown over seven years into a celebration of cuisines from across the African diaspora. The food festival showcased top chefs of color from the Caribbean, South America, Africa and Latin America.
“We’ve always done it in Manhattan … but it is the first one for us, and we’ve always wanted to do Brooklyn,” Armand said.
Born in Haiti, Armand came to the United States as a child, spending summers in New York before moving permanently at 14. He attended Benjamin Cardozo High School in Queens and later became the first African American student body president at St. John’s University.
Looking back growing up in Hempstead he calls it, “A great community very community centric.”
The venue was about timing. “It’s not that we did not want to choose Brooklyn before,” he explained. “You just have to understand that Brooklyn has a different energy, and you don’t enter Brooklyn around foodies and people that love flavor and culture any type of way.
The right opportunity never presented it’s self.”
Because of a partnership with the Parks Department, the event allowed people to join without an entry fee, though food and drinks were sold separately. “Never before have we ever done that,” he said.
The collaboration with Time Out Market was key. Time Out Market, a DUMBO-

based food hall known for celebrating culinary diversity. The permits came through the city’s Parks Department, but Armand credited Time Out Market’s backing with making access to the coveted plaza possible.
“I don’t think I would have ever gotten the Emily Roebling Plaza without Time Out Market,” he said. “Because of who they are and their trust in us, we were able to get it.”
The founder said diversity and inclusion are central to the festival’s mission — but sustaining that mission has
become harder.
“In a time where the federal government is taking away DEI initiatives, what Time Out Market provides for us … they were able to help us bridge that gap,” he said.
He noted that sponsorships have dropped sharply.
