Congressman Josh Gottheimer honored several people, including veterans, first responders, teachers and community leaders who have gone above and beyond to serve their community.
One of those honored was Andy Scallo, a union iron worker who helped work the pile after 9/11. He and his fellow iron workers carved crosses in the steel beams as a sign of hope and faith.
Olivier, former Westwood ambulance volunteer, and Scallo were honored for the memorial that now stands in Veterans Memorial Park at the Westwood train station. "Volunteering is just one of those things that just fills your heart. If you want to feel better, and everybody wants to feel better in these dark times we've been having, volunteer," Olivier said.
People like Kate Duggan, whose work has helped feed and find affordable homes for more than 250,000 people.
