Senate Resolution No. 1086

BY: Senator MARTINS

        HONORING   Ex-Captain   Edmond   Samson  upon  the
        occasion of his designation for special  recognition
        after  50  years  of dedicated service to the Garden
        City Park 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, 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 Ex-Captain
Edmond  Samson  upon  the  occasion  of  his  designation  for   special
recognition  after 50 years of dedicated service to the Garden City Park
Fire Department, to be celebrated at  their  112th  Annual  Installation
Dinner in Woodbury, 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;
Ex-Captain Edmond Samson is one such firefighter;  throughout  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 Ex-Captain Edmond Samson upon the occasion of his designation  for
special  recognition  after  50 years of dedicated service to the Garden
City Park Fire Department; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted to Ex-Captain Edmond Samson.
