Senate Resolution No. 540

BY: Senator JACOBS

        HONORING Firefighter Derek Meyer upon the occasion
        of  his designation as recipient of the Chiefs Award
        by the Brighton Volunteer Fire Company No. 5 in  the
        Town of Tonawanda, New York

  WHEREAS,  Citizens  across  our State and Nation are inspired by and
indebted to our noble volunteer firefighters  who  exhibit  courage  and
bravery every day in the course of their duties; and

  WHEREAS,   Volunteer  firefighters  exemplify  the  power  of  human
compassion and the strength of the American spirit  through  actions  of
the   most   heroic  magnitude;  their  sacrifices  and  their  selfless
dedication merit tribute and recognition by all citizens of  this  great
country; and

  WHEREAS,  This Legislative Body is justly proud to honor Firefighter
Derek Meyer upon the occasion of his designation  as  recipient  of  the
Chiefs Award by the Brighton Volunteer Fire Company No. 5, celebrated at
its  Annual Awards Ceremony on Saturday, January 26, 2019, at the Hilton
Garden Inn in Cheektowaga, New York; and

  WHEREAS, Firefighters unwaveringly serve our great State with pride,
valor, and integrity; these respected volunteers are often the first  to
respond to an emergency, whether the emergency is a fire, transportation
accident,  natural  disaster, act of terrorism, medical crisis, or spill
of hazardous materials; and

  WHEREAS, It takes a special dedication,  a  strong  desire  to  help
others  and  a tireless sense of community to forsake precious time with
family and friends to respond to the signal that a neighbor is in  need;
Derek  Meyer  is  such  a  firefighter; throughout many years of devoted
service, this volunteer heroically performed, above and beyond the  call
of   duty,   those  responsibilities  which  define  the  task  of  fire
protection; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
honor  Firefighter  Derek  Meyer upon the occasion of his designation as
recipient of the Chiefs Award by the Brighton Volunteer Fire Company No.
5 in the Town of Tonawanda, New York; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted to Firefighter Derek Meyer.
