Jennings, far left, United States Congressman Michael R. McNulty, third from left, and Albany County Executive Michael G. Breslin, fourth from left (second row), following a Veterans Day ceremony honoring Kelly at the Joseph E. Zaloga American Legion Post in Albany. Kelly, an Albany native, was a decorated World War II veteran who saw action in North Africa, Sicily and in the invasion of Normandy, where he suffered serious injury. Following the war he served for a dozen years as lead counsel for the CSEA from the law firm of DeGraff, Foy & Holt-Harris, until his untimely death in 1960 from complications due to his war injuries. The CSEA established a scholarship fund in his memory at the time of his death to provide college tuition help for Kelly's five children. The John J. Kelly Scholarship Fund continues to provide assistance to the children of CSEA members who have lost a parent.
