I was a volunteer EMT for nearly two decades. I was on call for plenty of holidays and got called during raging blizzards, in below zero temperatures, assisted during floods tornadoes and natural disasters and saw some thi is that still haunt me. I spent hundreds of hours in training and recertification. My volunteer time was in addition to working a full time professional job and having a family with two small kids. I did it often at sacrifice to my personal time and time with family. I did it as a service to my community and never sought recognition. I know that thousands of other men and women do this everyday for the same reasons.

Cuomo is one of smug elites and couldn’t lower himself to do this in his opinion menial service. He would not be willing or able to hold a fire hose in freezing temperatures,
or be covered in blood desperately trying to save the life of an injured stranger. Cuomo is quick to criticize us for not doing enough for climate change and other pet liberal causes, but has neither the inclination nor fortitude to truly help his community.

Wow! Thanks for all your service. People like you are what has made America great. An unsung hero.

Wow, buddy. I took my Army hat off over 30 years ago, but If I were wearing it, I would take it off for you. You are the epitome of what “to serve” is all about. Thank you for the sacrifices you’ve made.

I've seen how bulked up he is. He could do it, but he's just a bloody @$$.
