A Colorado paramedic was honored Sunday after losing his life to COVID-19. Paul Cary came to New York City to help in the fight against the virus. A massive procession, including hundreds of first responders, escorted Cary’s body to Newark Liberty Airport for his journey home. Cary was serving in the Bronx, and had signed up to stay a second tour, when he became ill about two weeks ago.
