I was losing guys left and right.
They were getting made, lieutenant.
He wanted to go to a rescue.
And we used to bash rescue all the time.
Rescue is like a special company.
When a truckie or a fireman gets in trouble, they send a rescue guy to get them.
They're like expertise.
Well, the Marines, but they're like specialists.
Yeah, that's Jerry.
And they were on 42nd Street, Rescue 1.
So they're right in the middle of Times Square.
Oh, they were there.
Oh, he made so many rescues.
Wow, so he enjoyed it once he got over there.
Oh, I used to go to some medal days, and he'd be there, and two, three medals hanging off of buildings, scaffoldings.
It was a lot of times in Midtown, the scaffoldings would break, and they'd have to go over ropes and get these guys.
And yeah, he was just a great find.
But when he told me he was going to rescue, I was crushed.
