🇺🇸 D-DAY | JUNE 6, 1944 🇺🇸

Today, we remember the brave Allied soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy and changed the course of history.

Their courage, sacrifice, and commitment to freedom came at an immeasurable cost. We honor those who served, those who sacrificed, and those who never made it home.

Their legacy lives on.

We will never forget.

The members of the Deer Park Fire Department congratulate Ex-Captain Thomas J. Miele on being awarded the prestigious Chief Wesley Williams Medal at the FDNY’s 157th Medal Day Ceremony.

A member of the Deer Park Fire Department and Ex-Captain, Tom exemplifies the courage, dedication, and selfless service that define the fire service. On October 9, 2025, while operating at a working fire in Queens, Firefighter Miele located and rescued an unconscious victim from rapidly deteriorating fire conditions, an act of bravery that ultimately saved a life.

Tom’s unwavering commitment to protecting others has always made us proud, and his actions were recognized on one of the biggest stages in the fire service.

Congratulations, Tom. Your Deer Park FD family is incredibly proud of you and honored to call you one of our own.

🚒🇺🇸 Well deserved. Well earned. Well respected.

Rain or shine, the Deer Park Fire Department will always march to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Memorial Day is more than a parade, it is a promise that their service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

This past Monday, we were proud to stand alongside our community despite the rain to remember the ones who never made it home.

A special thank you to Girl Scout Troop 499 for their beautiful rendition of the National Anthem. Thank you to the Deer Park Lions Club, Sons & Daughters of Italy, Knights of Columbus, and Legislator Tom Donnelly for joining us in honoring our nation’s heroes.

Most importantly, thank you to the Deer Park community for coming out and showing your support, proving that even the rain could not wash away the true meaning of Memorial Day. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
