Congratulations to all of the honorees at the Gotham 2022 Holiday Party.
I was riveted by Vince Chirico’s words. Vince received the coveted Red Bandanna Award for his efforts through Opportunities for a Better Tomorrow.
Vince recounted how he would have been in his office at the World Trade Center on September 11th but for his wife’s insistence that he accompany their daughter on her first day of school. Six people in his office perished that day.
Our award honors those whose actions are in tradition of the Man in the Red Bandanna who saved so many on that day.
I cannot escape thinking that this year’s recipient was also saved on the day.
