James Hendon

Last night, we joined the 50th Precinct for #NationalNightOut—celebrating community, public safety, and the people who make the Bronx feel like home. Grateful to stand with @NYPD50Pct, community leaders, and neighbors working together to build a stronger, safer NYC. #NNO2025

🇺🇸 Honoring a True Hero 🇺🇸 Today at the Bronx VA, DVS Commissioner DeCohen & partners awarded Mr. Jose Sanchez the NYS Medal for Merit. A proud Veteran & lifelong servant of others, his courage and compassion inspire us all! #NYSDVS #JoseSanchez #VeteranHonor #ServingAllWhoServed

Too many veterans miss out on the benefits they’ve earned—compensation that can mean hundreds or even thousands of dollars each month. As it says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." We’re here to change that—one claim at a time.

More military veterans call Queens home than any other borough, which is why my office takes our partnership with @nycveterans as seriously as possible. Because our veterans deserve it. Thanks to Commissioner @JamesHendonNYC for today's chat at Borough Hall about the work ahead.
