A group of veterans and National Grid employees helped clean up the grounds at the United Veterans Beacon House in Islip.
The volunteers trimmed bushes, planted flowers and installed a new mailbox and flag.
"Any time we can help out our men and women who served, it’s a home run,” said one volunteer. “I don’t care how you look at it. Some of us come back from war situations in not a good shape and they need help.”
The United Veterans Beacon House provides housing in over 50 locations throughout Long Island.
