View all 28 ReflectionsI was assigned to the aviation unit on the night Joe was killed. Prior to aviation I had the privilege of working the summer detail in the 100 pct. We had responded to peninsula general that night with the hope of transporting Joe to Manhattan….. but that did not happen. I will never forget the mood that night when I walked in the ER of the the guys that I had worked with in the 100.
God bless you Joe…. And God bless the guys from the 100 pct.
