Sons Of Sgt. Paul ​Tuozzolo Lead Greenlawn Fire Department Parade

The two young songs of slain NYPD Sgt. Paul Tuozzolo served as grand marshals of the annual Greenlawn Fire Department Parade last week.

Tuozzolo, of Greenlawn, was killed in the line of duty during a Bronx shootout last November.

His children Austin, 5, and Joseph, 4, led the parade in an antique Cadillac convertible. Their mother Lisa Tuozzolo was also present. The convertible was driven by Greenlawn firefighter Joe Tavernese who owns the classic car.

Earlier this summer, the boys threw out the first pitch at a Mets game at Citi Field through Answer the Call, a nonprofit that supports the families of New York City's first responders.
