Paratrooper Becomes First Amputee to Join NYPD
Gerard P. Simpson Jr. 21, a Vietnam veteran who lost a leg, holds a NYPD publication with fiancée Joan Peruginal in his New York home. He will become the first amputee to join the force, having trained as a police trainee in 1965 before enlisting. Police Commissioner Howard R. Leary praised him, saying Simpson has given too much to his country for the city to turn its back on him.
