Kudos to the winners of The New York Post’s 11th annual Liberty Medal awards.
By their exceptional service and outstanding character, these local heroes, who received their awards at a reception last night, represent precisely the spirit for which the award was established after 9/11.
They are a diverse group of everyday New Yorkers, not some powerful bigwigs. And they set an invaluable example.
The winners include folks like Christopher Rosa, a CUNY official with muscular dystrophy who spearheaded a career-readiness program for students with disabilities.
And Elizabeth and Stephen Alderman, who lost their son on 9/11 and started a humanitarian project that’s helped more than 100,000 terror victims worldwide.
Other winners: Sharon Content (Leadership); Steve St. Bernard (Courage); Kevin Brennan (New York’s Finest); Sean Heeran (New York’s Bravest); Alyssa Innamorato (Young Heart), and Valeriya Beloshkurenko (Freedom). Congrats to all.
