Forty years ago, on November 29, 1979, U.S. Rep. Joseph P. Addabbo (D-N.Y.) delivered a statement from the floor of the House of Representatives, noting that the Ukrainian National Association was marking its 85th anniversary, an “anniversary of faith, reason and understanding.”
Rep. Addabbo underscored the UNA’s history and reputation as among the most revered fraternal benefit societies in the world, as it recently celebrated its 85th anniversary with a banquet celebration in New York.
