Senate Resolution No. 703

BY: Senator LAVALLE

        HONORING   Firefighter  Thomas  Fauteux  upon  the
        occasion of his  designation  as  recipient  of  the
        Fireman  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  Firefighter
Thomas  Fauteux upon the occasion of his designation as recipient of the
Fireman 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;
Thomas  Fauteux  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 Firefighter Thomas Fauteux upon the occasion of his designation as
recipient of the Fireman of the Year Award, on March 23, 2019; and be it
further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Firefighter Thomas Fauteux.
