New York State Senator Steve Rhoads joined Councilman Chris Schneider, Assemblyman Dave McDonough’s representative Shannon Fredericks, and the Seaford 9/11 Memorial Committee in honoring the recipients of the 2026 Patriot Award. Emily Brown, Michelle Evangelista, Brian Falk, Paiten Haskell, Matthew Kind, and Valerie Martin were recognized for their outstanding character, leadership, and dedication to serving their community.
The Patriot Award honors the legacy of five courageous Seaford High School alumni who lost their lives during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Each year, the award recognizes individuals who embody the same values of service, integrity, and selflessness that defined those heroes.
The 2026 Honorary Patriot Award recipients: Dawn Haskell-Carbone, Bob Powell, and Bob Valvano were also recognized for their meaningful contributions and commitment to the Seaford community.
Senator Rhoads congratulated all of this year’s honorees and thanked the Seaford 9/11 Memorial Committee for continuing to preserve the memory of those lost while celebrating individuals who make a lasting difference through service and leadership.
