Bellone Welcomes Veterans at VetStock Music Festival

Suffolk County, NY – Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone recently welcomed hundreds of local veterans and their families to the Project9line Vetstock 2015 music festival in Bay Shore.

The event was Long Island’s only music festival dedicated to veterans as all proceeds benefited veteran services.

The event featured performances from veteran musicians – including those who performed at the Inaugural Suffolk County Marathon, which raised $160,000 for local veteran organizations.

Project9line is a non-profit organization that helps veterans with reintegration back to civilian life and helps those who suffer from PTSD by encouraging them to express themselves through forms of art.
