Since 1973 thousands of firefighters and rescue workers have received the prestigious Green Cross award. This award is a symbol of recognition for those who have used Hurst Jaws of Life tools to extricate trapped drivers in motor vehicle accidents. At the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's Lincoln Tunnel, Holland Tunnel, and George Washington Bridge, 75 awards have been issued to Tunnel and Bridge Agents who are members of TWU Local 1400.

On October 21, the union's Tunnel and Bridge Agents were saluted for receiving multiple awards. Pictured at the George Washington Bridge are TBAs with 15 or more Green Cross awards. They are Howard Cohen (GWB), Richard Cravello (Lincoln Tunnel) and Troy Mosby (GWB). TBAs Kenneth Zimmer (Lincoln Tunnel) and Moises Gomez (GWB) were similarly honored but not available for the photo.
