Build Essential Workers Monument

Thought for the day

Gov. Cuomo's plan to build the Essential Workers Monument makes sense to me. Honoring nurses, doctors, teachers, grocery clerks, police and many others who died from COVID will serve as a permanent reminder heroes come in all sizes, shapes and colors. My only question is this: When will we build a national monument honoring the more than 550,000 moms, dads, grandparents and children who contracted the virus and have passed away? Considering so many of them died alone, I believe this memorial would provide closure to millions of their family members and friends tragically left behind.
