Thanksgiving Day Garbage Patrol

Every Thanksgiving, Launch 5 will make a garbage run on the Hudson River, picking up floating debris and garbage out of the Hudson. Pictured below are the crew that day: Sgt. Mike Murphy NYPD Harbor Unit, Judge Bill Hamilton, Bianca Hamilton, Liam Hamilton, George Hritz, Ken George, and Bob Sterling. This year the crew members of Launch 5 were witness to a lot of the damage that still had not been repaired from Hurricane Sandy. Many waterfront properties were still boarded up.
