A grateful Thanksgiving to our First Responders

As we gather with loved ones this Thanksgiving, sharing meals and making memories, I want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude for the men and women who serve as our police officers, firefighters, and EMTs. While many of us are enjoying time with family, these dedicated individuals remain on duty, working tirelessly to keep our community safe and respond to emergencies — often without the luxury of a holiday break.

While we are sitting down to enjoy our turkey dinners, they are on the front lines, answering calls, putting out fires, and offering critical care in moments of need. Their sacrifice and unwavering commitment to our well-being do not go unnoticed, and it’s important that we acknowledge their hard work, especially during this time when they are separated from their own families.

Their selflessness ensures that we can enjoy our Thanksgiving in safety and peace. This holiday season, let’s all take a moment to recognize the vital role they play in our lives, not just today, but every day. They are the true heroes who serve without hesitation, even when their own families are celebrating.

On behalf of the 200 Club of Monmouth County and our entire community, I offer my heartfelt thanks to all of our first responders. Your service is deeply appreciated, and we are grateful for everything you do.

Warm regards,

Mary Pat Angelini, President
