Financial Network (GFN) =S.V.A. Factoid= A recent self-inflicted victim of not supporting the S.V.A. and not particpating in Oh, no! Not again! Three years later. Although we warned Miss CROWLEY and her thick-headed campaign staff repeatedly, she did it again in 2020 for Queens Borough President -- and losing again! She and her staff just wouldn't even write a free letter of praise (and maybe thanks) to the S.V.A. or get up off a buck to advertise with the S.V.A. and its tried-and-true campaign package including the SVA's proven powerful website and endless social media outlets and over 100,000 emails in several blasts! * Presidential Election Year *

* Rest In Peace (in Manhattan) * New York City Mayor Edward I. Koch-- an appreciative, longtime and solid supporter of the National STONEWALL Rebellion Veterans Association ("S.V.A."). It certainly brought him great results and good luck. New York City Mayor Ed Koch thoughtfully, strongly, gladly, consistently and proudly supported the S.V.A. while he was a congressman the year of the Stonewall Rebellion in 1969 and as mayor for a dozen years (1978 through 1989) and ever since! He cleverly re-christened the 1969 "Stonewall Car" as the "Stonewall Touring Car" because of all its renowned parade work and displaying at events all around New York City! Mayor Koch also served as the SVA's Honorary Male Chairperson for an incredible four-plus decades until his sunset! https://www.StonewallVets.org/EdKoch.htm Home |
