It’s not only that retired Capt. Peter Hahn, who is turning 103-years-old in less than two weeks, doesn’t think of himself as a hero, like most World War II veterans. The P-51 pilot also acknowledges how, despite the gravity of war, Air Force service for him, as a young man, was quite simply a thrilling experience.

Election Day fallout, big changes in Rockland: Angle

The midterms are over, and Rockland's gonna see a lot of change come January. A big one: Our two-term member of Congress, Republican Mike Lawler, lost to political newcomer Democrat Cait Conley . (You can find our exclusive Q&A with Conley here .) Though the Pearl River resident was up by more than 8 percentage points in Rockland, according to unofficial results, Westchester pushed the blue wave forward. The pattern became clear election night, even with a Westchester County ballot mess that delayed quick results, and Lawler called Conley election night to concede . Rockland is part of New York Congressional District 17, which also includes Putnam and parts of Westchester and Dutchess counties. That blue wave continued to sweep through Rockland . In state Senate District 38, which encompasses the towns of Orangetown, Clarkstown, Ramapo and Haverstraw, even a shout-out by President Trump on X to Monsey's Jewish community didn't save incumbent Republican Sen. Bill Weber. Democratic challenger Joe Rand got his share of what's often dubbed as the "bloc vote" for its high turnout and frequent unity behind a single candidate. Like this year showed, at least in this race, the bloc vote is not always a monolith.

Latest on Westchester ballot failure that delayed count of 180K votes

The election fiasco that delayed the counting of 180,000 Westchester County ballots originated in an unlikely way: with a local judge's seat that no one bothered to run for. Weeks before the Nov. 3 election, the county made a tiny addition to Ardsley's ballots to let voters from that village write in candidates for village justice. That low-profile race initially had been left off the ballot altogether because no one had petitioned to run and so there were no choices to list, state and county election officials say. But a seemingly trivial ballot change was followed by a programming oversight that prevented voting machines across the county from reading ballots on Nov. 3. Instead, voters filled in ballots and were asked to drop them in secured bags to be counted later. No voting was impeded, but it was an unusually widespread disruption that drew a media glare, partly because it threatened to delay the results of one of the nation's most watched congressional races. "This situation is unacceptable," County Executive Ken Jenkins said in a statement on Election Day, vowing to form a bipartisan team to probe "the decisions and failures that led to this debacle, determine where accountability lies
