At 18, this NJ singer is shining for police, and the Knicks
It's a first for Blue Friday, honoring someone who is not a member of Law Enforcement.
This Friday, we're honoring a special young woman who clearly has a bright future ahead.
Her dad was a long serving member of the Passaic County Sheriff's Office, and retired in 2017.
He has also been a publisher for Blue Magazine since 2009. In total, he has been representing law enforcement for 27 years, and is the best our NJ law enforcement has to offer.
Today we're honoring his daughter, Alyssa.
Alyssa is using her talent to support first responders
Alyssa Del Valle is an 18-year-old graduating senior at Ramapo high school.
She is a singer, song writer and performer who has been singing since she was seven-years-old.
Throughout her young career, she has performed for law enforcement events singing the national Anthem and other patriotic songs supporting first responders, law enforcement agencies and community events across the country.
A rising New Jersey singer with a passion for the Knicks
It's also important to note that this young talent and rising star singer is a huge New York Knicks fan.
She was inspired by the championship season to record a new song, "Go New York" as a tribute to the energy, pride and excitement that the team and their fans have brought to our area.
I think it's important to recognize when a member of the younger generation shows this kind of dedication and commitment to patriotism and standing up for the men and women in Blue.
