“Our courageous officers have been on the front lines since day one, and today these same officers have gone above and beyond by showing their compassion for their fellow frontline partners who have endured through the COVID-19 pandemic by bringing them a bit of Easter cheer," Port Authority Police Supt. Edward T. Cetnar. "We sincerely appreciate everything our healthcare heroes have done during these challenging times."
“The commitment and dedication of hospital personnel has not only been an amazing display of courage but, a true demonstration of selflessness," said Port Authority PBA President Paul Nunziato. They have never hesitated to come to our aid; it is now our duty and desire to provide for them.
"I remind all that during this holy season of spiritual freedom and rebirth it is the medical personnel who bring a new freedom and rebirth to those in need. We are blessed by their service."
