Jim, I am sorry for being late to acknowledge that this year marks 20 years since you were taken from us. I am sure that many people today do not even know that three HHC Police Officers were killed while even the City of New York refuses to acknowledge that we exist. Jim, as long as I can still breathe, talk, and walk I will continue the fight to get things better for our people and hopefully become free from 237 and be part of LEEBA.
