Day 334: Mike and Mike


Tonight Steve, Julius, Tony and Erik honored two men who have dedicated a total of 75 years to training EMTs.  Our entire region has benefitted from their contributions.  Thousands of EMT students  have gone on to work with local rescue squads, commercial ambulance services or in emergency rooms.  Some were citizens who simply wanted to be prepared for emergencies.   Think of the lives they have impacted! 

Mike P. served as an instructor for the past 35 years and has spent many more years in the fire service.   A World War II veteran, Mike V. was an instructor for 40 years.  During the war, he earned a Purple Heart and a Silver Star.  A few years ago he was recognized by NYS as the longest continuously serving EMT in the entire state.  

What remarkable role models they are!
