Senate Resolution No. 1951

BY: Senator KAPLAN

        COMMENDING  Firefighter  John  Sautkulis  upon the
        occasion of his designation for special  recognition
        after  50 years of dedicated service to the Atlantic
        Hook & Ladder Company No. 1

  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   commend
Firefighter  John  Sautkulis  upon  the  occasion of his designation for
special recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the  Atlantic
Hook  &  Ladder  Company  No.  1,  to  be celebrated at its 133rd Annual
Installation and Inspection Dinner in  Port  Washington,  New  York,  on
Saturday, June 15, 2019; and

  WHEREAS,  John  Sautkulis  was elected to membership in the Atlantic
Hook & Ladder Company No. 1, in December of 1968;  for  many  years,  he
held  the position of Company Steward, and served on numerous committees
throughout his five decades; 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;
Firefighter John Sautkulis is such a firefighter; throughout 50 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
commend Firefighter John Sautkulis upon the occasion of his  designation
for  special  recognition  after  50  years  of dedicated service to the
Atlantic Hook & Ladder Company No. 1; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted to Firefighter John Sautkulis.
