The medics kicked off from the New York Army National Guard battalion’s historic Lexington Avenue Armory home in the early morning hours.
They headed east towards the East River and FDR Drive and the followed the highway south to the Williamsburg Bridge connecting Manhattan to Queens. They turned around and came back.
