Brendan Marrocco; Update On A Remarkable Recovery

BRENDAN MARROCCO, IN A PHOTO SHOT BY KEN STEVENS FOR THE MUSKEGON CHRONICLE

Due to the Veterans Day holiday I revisited a story I wrote for New York Social Diary in 2009. It was about Pfc. Brendan Marrocco of Staten Island, who was hit by an explosive device in Iraq on Easter Sunday of that year, losing all four limbs - the first soldier to lose all his limbs and survive. We met at Walter Reed Army Hospital. Yesterday I talked with his father, Alex Marrocco, and got an update, and contributed an item to NYSD. Please read it: Brendan Marrocco. It will start your week off right.

THE Q&A CAFE

The Q&A Cafe is now in its 21st year. We launched in October 2001 at Nathans in Georgetown as a response to the September 11 terror attacks, and from that initial purpose grew into a weekly community interview lunch, the first "talk show in a bar." When Nathans closed in 2009 we moved to the Ritz Carlton Hotel and since 2015 our home has been The George Town Club. Some 500 notable individuals, from all fields, have appeared for interviews, which are taped and air Fridays on DC Cable. All are welcomed to attend. For reservations: 202-333-9330.
