MEDIA COVERAGE

Since the inception of the project in 2001 there has been extensive media coverage of the project, its progress and the volunteer staff. Our first newspaper story was in Long Island Newsday (the largest newspaper on Long Island) in November of 2001.  It was a two page story which resulted in new additions to our volunteer staff and the initial public awareness of the project. Since then, media coverage has included many stories in community newspapers, the New York Daily News, corporate newspapers, local township veterans newsletters and “Frontlines” published by the Marine Corps Times.  In addition, radio station coverage has accompanied our open house events.   In May of 2004 Long Island Newsday again did a 2-page feature story on the Tiger Veterans Reunion including a thumbnail sketch on the front page. The Suffolk Times (the second largest Long Island newspaper) also did a 2-page story, including front page coverage.  In November of 2004, a Marine Corps reporter visited to do a story for the official Marine Corps Website which newspapers use as a resource for articles of interest to their readers.  The article and photos were published on December 9th at www.NYMarines.org and www.USMC.mil.
