Inscription.
Emigrant Bank and the Milstein family join all New Yorkers in celebrating the 150th Anniversary of our Fire Department. The selfless heroism of New York’s Bravest is a shining example of the best enduring qualities of Americans. Let us reflect on this anniversary, and, in the years ahead, on our gratitude for the FDNY’s courageous efforts to protect all New Yorkers. Whether during its darkest days – as the Kneeling Fireman reminds us – or its brightest moments, let us always show our support for the men and women of the FDNY, who risk their lives every day for us.

Erected 2015 by Emigrant Bank.
