We were all treated to
spectacular views of New York City. We also enjoyed the FDNY's Marine 1 boat giving a
wonderful salute to us as we travelled down the Hudson River! The NYPD also provided a helicopter
aerial flyover! The A.O.H. is proud to support the Emerald Society and is
thrilled that they chose one of our members to lead them. Congratulations
P.V.S.!!!!!
