On Saturday May 16 Sayville Helped Welcome home injured Soldier Chris Levi from Afghanistan. Approximately 38 Tower Ladders from departments throughout the island were deployed for a true hero's welcome.
Chris lost both of his legs above the knee when a roadside bomb exploded under his Humvee. He has spent more than a year at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington DC healing from his wounds. While he was away, volunteers organized by members of the Holbrook Fire Department built a handicapped-accessible apartment in the lower level of his parents home. Donations ranging from lumber to labor helped pay for the estimated $150,000 renovation.
WELCOME HOME AND THANK YOU CHRIS LEVI!
