Atlantis Marine World Aquarium Celebrates Long Island’s Military Heroes
  
Atlantis Marine World Aquarium celebrates the men and women who have recently served our country overseas with its second annual “Night of Heroes” on Friday, March 28.     
   
The event, which begins at 6:30pm, will host more than 200 Long Island members of the Armed Forces, their families, and those who support them. Master of Ceremonies for the event is COL Ray Doyle (Ret.).
