Honoring Hometown Heroes

Tuesday, 29 January 2013 | by Pat's Picks

We’ll be back to our regular schedule on Wednesday, but this morning I’m taking a day off work to help honor the many men and women who make this city running smoothly.  The first 
annual 
Hometown 
Heroes 
Transit 
Awards were supposed to happen last year but were postponed because of Hurricane Sandy.



Three months later, the New York Daily News, in partnership with the MTA and the Transit Workers Union, will recognize several people for their service. One of my co-presenters at this morning’s event, Daily News editor‐in‐chief 
Colin
 Myler, says, “In 
many 
ways 
they 
are
 silent,
 unsung
 heroes. 
They 
are
 New 
York’s 
lifeline.”
 I totally agree.
