Brigadier General Jack James, on behalf of the New York National Guard Leadship, published an article detailing the incredible response the New York Military Forces performed during the Covid-19 response and thanking all those that served.
Our Soldiers, Airmen, Naval Militia and New York Guardsmen responded in force to the myriad of challenges posed by COVID-19: manning test sites across the state; managing warehouses jammed with supplies and moving them where they were needed; distributing meals and hand sanitizer to our fellow citizens; creating a field hospital at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center; and leading efforts to recover our deceased fellow Americans in a dignified manner.
To each of you who played a role in these and other important missions, I thank you and your families. I am truly in awe of your dedication and commitment. Each of you stared an invis- ible enemy in the face, and answered the call when the people of New York needed you most.
