Connor Frascati, a Combat Veteran and Bronze Star recipient, returned to Staten Island after a nine-month deployment in Iraq. He participated in flag presentations at the Staten Island Academy and the SSG Michael Ollis VFW Post to honor those who influenced his military service. Frascatiâs connection to the VFW Post includes fond memories with his grandfather, and he credits the Academy and the story of SSG Michael Ollis as pivotal factors in inspiring his decision to serve. His commitment to community service reflects Staten Islandâs deep-rooted values of service and sacrifice.
Frascati stated, âIt was an honor to recognize two places that shaped my own path to serve. Serving my community and my country has been a privilege, and I look forward to continuing to serve.â
Frascati emphasized that Staten Island is rooted in service, as he remarked, âStaten Island is a place where service - whether in the military, civil service, or community - runs deep.â
