The Vietnam Veterans' Memorial "The Moving Wall" is scheduled to be on display in Queens' Cunningham Park, in Fresh Meadows, October 2 - 8, 2004. The viewing is being sponsored by the Vietnam Veterans of America, Queens Chapter #32, Inc. "The Moving Wall" is the half-size replica of the Washington, DC Vietnam Veterans Memorial and has been touring the country for almost twenty years. It contains the names of American military personnel who gave their lives during the Vietnam War and includes the names of those still unaccounted for.The wall was supposed to have been in Juniper Valley Park in 2004, but we can thank JPCA, Bob Holden, and Tony Nunziato for stopping "The Moving Wall" from coming to OUR park.
The JPCA position on the Vietnam memorial in Juniper Park was that Holden/Nunziato didn't want all those people in "their" park. "Too much noise", "Too many people" was Holden's complaints. Holden and Nunziato used their postion on CB 5 to convince CM Gallagher, and he finally bowed down to JPCA wishes and sent VVA # 32 to Cunningham Park instead.
Remember that Gallagher was JPCA's Man of the Year in 2005 - this was one of the reasons he was granted this "recognition".
Fact: JPCA and the Holden/Nunziato “team” stop the greatest tribute to Vietnam Veterans from coming to Juniper Park.
I ask that all veterans, but especially the Vietnam veterans, to not forget this disgrace that Holden, Nunziato, and the JPCA as a whole forced onto our veterans, and our community.

Reflushed, thank you for bringing this issue back up. I was a Vietnam vet, and a Maspeth resident. Being disabled I was looking forward to going to Juniper Park and paying my respect to the men in my unit that didn’t come home. But because of Holden and Nunziato, I had to go all the way to Cunningham Park. Yes, I made the trip, but why should JPCA and the Holden/Nunziato team have stop The Moving Wall from coming to Juniper Park? The park belongs to the people NOT to JPCA.
I will remember you on Nov 4th Nunziato, and I’ll vote for Markey.
God bless America!
I have always wondered why Pat Toro from VVA # 32 hates Holden and Nunziato!!
Thanks for putting the truth out there.

Didn't Tony Nunziato lose a brother in Vietnam ... why would disgrace his brother's memory like that.
Wow, I didn’t realize that Tony was such a low-life to put politic over family.
"Nunziato is nothing more than a coward, and Holden puppet."
You have sumed up Tony 10 words.
Relushed, I can assure you that the Vietnam Vets know what Holden and Nunziato did to us by not allowing the wall to come to JPCA.
I can tell you, the word is out, no Vietnam Vet is voting for him.
He and Holden can go play "house" with JPCA tramp Christina.
I heard that Holden is a draft dodger. That is how Midville Dodgers got their name.
That is why Holden hates the military.
I don't know why Nuinziato would turn his back on vets, but I know that I will never forgive him.
Gad Bless America!!
