By an e-mail and some pictures of Mr. George J. Munckenbeck, Ex-Captain of the West Sayville Fire Department

Clinton Kwaak was a resident of our community West Sayville and we have a small war memorial outside the firehouse with his name on it. Our Junior Fire Department is gathering information on the members of our community who did not come home for their newsletter and the Fire Department's records and web site. We would welcome the opportunity to include some of the information off your site. By the way, the nickname of the WSFD is "The Flying Dutchmen." By the way there is another Kwaak on the monument. A number of his distant cousins still reside here and a few of my Junior fire fighters are related to him in some way.

It may be of interest that I believe my mother was engaged to Klinton Kwaak at the time of his death.
