Detective Joseph Lemm put his city first and his country first. He dedicated his life to protecting others. As an Air National Guard this selfless New Yorker was one of the American’s killed by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan. Our prayers and sympathy go out to his family and loved ones and to all those who strive to keep us safe here at home and throughout the world. R.I.P. Detective Lemm.

In warm appreciation of our association
during the past year, we extend our
very best wishes for a happy holiday season.
