Senate Resolution No. 731

BY: Senator LAVALLE

        HONORING   Firefighter   James   Fetten  upon  the
        occasion of his  designation  as  recipient  of  the
        Firefighter  of the Year Award by the Jamesport Fire
        Department

  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
James  Fetten  upon  the occasion of his designation as recipient of the
Firefighter of the Year Award by the Jamesport  Fire  Department  to  be
celebrated at its Annual Dinner on Saturday, March 30, 2019, at Vineyard
Caterer's, Aquebogue, 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;
James Fetten 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 James Fetten upon the occasion of his  designation  as
recipient  of  the  Firefighter  of the Year Award by the Jamesport Fire
Department; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted to Firefighter James Fetten.
