I am wondering if the black BMA armband that l put up on the wall is still hanging in 319s kitchen. I got it from a legend Benny Zvierko who came to 319 when 232 was closed. There was only one Benny Z...

Being there first hand I don't remember a black armband, but we had a red one with 232 on it, which I still have, when we took the Brooklyn Bridge for the first time ever. It truly showed how united the Brothers were back then. To 176 it was like losing a family member that we had lived with for 15 years. We had plenty of good times and some hard times and from what I know it was probably the best integration of an Engine and Truck. 232 welcomed us with open arms and the rest is History. I believe the amount of work we were subjected to during the war years kept us close to each other, everybody had each others back. We usually came back from a job and critiqued it together. The engine said truck work was dumb and we told them anybody could drag a hose line to a fire and put it out. No smarts needed there. In retrospect it was truly the best time of my life. Anybody that doesn't think it was the best job in the world, would truly be mistaken.

I stand corrected. It was red with 232 on it. It's been so long
