Senate Resolution No. 701

BY: Senator LAVALLE

        HONORING  Walter  Gaipa  upon  the occasion of his
        designation as recipient of the EMS  Person  of  the
        Year  Award  for  his  dedicated service to the East
        Marion Fire Department, East Marion, 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 Walter Gaipa
upon the occasion of his designation as recipient of the EMS  Person  of
the  Year  Award  by the East Marion Fire Department to be celebrated at
its Annual Installation of Officers' Dinner on Saturday, March 23, 2019,
at Calverton Links, Calverton, 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;
Walter  Gaipa  is  such  a  firefighter; throughout his 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  Walter Gaipa upon the occasion of his designation as recipient of
EMS Person of the Year Award, on March 23, 2019; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted to Walter Gaipa.
