The Community Board 4 Municipal Services Committee teamed up with the New York Yankees Thursday to honor three police officers, three firefighters and three transit officers for their service.
Firefighter Justin Banasz was one of the recipients for helping save a man’s life just a year and a half into the job.
The servicemen received a plaque and a jacket. They will be honored on Yankee Stadium's field in the spring.
The event is in its 19th year.
