Today we honor the life and legacy of Welles Remy Crowther, the “Man in the Red Bandana,” on what would have been his 49th birthday. On September 11, Welles showed extraordinary courage and selflessness, helping save over a dozen lives while putting others before himself. A proud son of Rockland County and a volunteer firefighter, his heroism continues to inspire people across our nation and reminds us of the very best of America. We will always remember his sacrifice and the example he set for all of us. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Welles.

It is always an honor to attend the Rockland County Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony in New City and pay tribute to the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
