PHOTOS MERCHANT MARINE CEREMONY IN CROTON

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short Everything Croton.

It was bright, dry, and sunny--albeit cold--for today's Merchant Marine Flag Ceremony.  American Legion Fox-Eklof Post 505 hosted the ceremony to honor the service and sacrifice of the United States Merchant Marines, including Croton native Richard Pusatere, who served as the Chief Engineer of the SS El Faro, which was lost at sea on October 1, 2015 after encountering Hurricane Joaquin en route to San Juan.  Following the ceremony, lunch and refreshments were served at Post 505.
