A stain on Rye that will last forever!
On this Veterans Day, we remember our friend Bob Schubert. Bob was a World War II U.S. Navy veteran who was disrespected and mistreated by multiple Rye City officials in the last years of his life. #NeverForget

It is painful to be reminded of the mistreatment of Bob by Rye City officials Bob was a kind and decent man.Those who were silent during the targeting and humiliation of Bob are as culpable as those who actively participated. Always remember.
