Croton Lenny Amicola; “Why I won’t surrender and take down my Trump flag” September 26, 2025September 9, 2025 by Tom Faranda On his own property. This nonsense has now gone national and he was on Newsmax tonight. Pictures if you hit the link. I was sent to Texas to serve on the burial Honor Guard. It was an assignment nobody wanted. I was 19 years old and serving at the funerals of other 19 year olds. It was difficult. After four funerals, I couldn’t do it anymore. I was sent to a military camp in the jungle along the Thai border with Laos. To keep back the jungle, chemicals were sprayed to kill the foliage. I am living with the effects of that today and have been granted a disability pension and VA care due to Agent Orange. My choices and my politics are my own. I don’t always agree with other people’s opinions in Croton but all of us have the right to free speech. People ask me why I don’t surrender and take down my flag. It is because of the values I learned growing up here in Croton. It is because I am my father’s son.
