Citizen Soldier From East Meadow Reenlists

Sergeant First Class Ruben Delgado of East Meadow, a member of the New York Army National Guard, has reenlisted to continue service with Company C, 1-69th Infantry, Major General Patrick A. Murphy, the adjutant general, announced.

"The New York Army National Guard has sustained our force at or above 100 percent strength for the better part of five years now," Murphy said. "Keeping those ready forces in our ranks mean that New York is ready to provide forces for state missions here at home, as we saw during Hurricane Sandy or for the federal missions supporting our nation around the country and around the world."

Murphy added, "Each of our 16,000 men and women serving in the Army and Air National Guard as an important role and I'm pleased that so many continue to reenlist and remain part of our New York National Guard family."
