“When you realize what they do so that we can walk around this city feeling comfortable and not being concerned, they put those badges on every day and go out there, and it’s their lives that are at stake, not ours,” Yankees COO Lonn Trost told Boomer & Carton last week. “George Steinbrenner realized this as early as 1982, when he formed the Silver Shield Foundation, which takes care of the education for fallen police officers and firemen in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, and state troopers.”
