Framed on the wall of my chambers at the Appellate Division, Second Department, is a Flag of the United States of America which had been flown over the Headquarters of the Combined Joint Task Force Phoenix VII, Camp Phoenix, Afghanistan on Nov. 11, 2008, which was celebrated there and at home as Veteran’s Day by the armed forces of the United States.
The flag was presented to me by officers of the Judge Advocate General’s Corps of the New York Army National Guard who were deployed in Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. In civilian life, those officers had served in a variety of occupations including prosecutors, private practitioners, and in-house counsel. As military lawyers, they were involved in a range of activities including the training of local forces, advice to commanders, military justice, contracts and procurement, the status of forces, and legal assistance to deployed personnel.
