QUEENS, NY -- 11/10/22 -- Sailors from USS Arlington share gifts with firemen at Squad 288/Hazmat 1 in Queens as part of a Veterans Day port visit. Thomas Gardner, father of Arlington crew member Lt j.g. Christopher Gardner, died on Sept 11, 2001 alongside 18 other firemen from this firehouse. In recognition of their ultimate sacrifice and the ongoing relationship between USS Arlington and the city of New York, the USS Arlington Chiefs Mess came together to deliver gifts to the firemen on duty.
