Congressman Mike McNulty, Anthony & Louis Gargiula
Another First for Anthony
On Saturday, February 21, 2009, Anthony sang the National Anthem at the Empire State Plaza Convention Center infront of 1,300 people for Congressman Michael McNulty's Welcome Home gala.
It was a beautiful tribute to a very special man. It was an honor for Anthony to be on stage at this event with so many important people including John McNulty, Congressman Gary Ackerman, Bishop Howard Hubbard, Dr. Rabbi Paul Silton and Richard Iannuzzi (President of NYSUT).
The highlight of the night had to be when we were talking with some people that we knew and Congressman McNulty, his wife, his daughters and his grandchildren all called Anthony over to their table to thank him for singing and take pictures. Of course getting a hug from our great Mayor is also always fun. (Mayor Jennings and Anthony are buddies.)
This event was the fourth time Anthony sang the National Anthem this week. The other times were at the Bethlehem Senior Night Basketball game, at the Times Union Center for Siena's last home game and then at SUNY Albany's senior game at the SEFCU Center.
A very busy but fun filled vacation week. Anthony can not wait to go back to school and get some rest. :-)
