THANK YOU to all the people in many different fields who made a difference during the pandemic.....however spending money on a parade is BS....i am RET & out of the action but even if i had still been working & responding to help i would not have wanted a parade....glad to see the EMS Union stepping up.....i wonder if the freaks who are opposing the Memorial Park in Lower Manhattan will be attending the festivities....probably so if it's on somebody else's dime......how many attendees will be NON vaccinated looking for a freeo ?
