Senate Resolution No. 2124

BY: Senator KAPLAN

        COMMENDING Honorary Chief Joseph Choinski upon the
        occasion  of his designation for special recognition
        after 50 years of dedicated service to the New  Hyde
        Park Fire Department

  WHEREAS,  The firefighters of New York State are renowned throughout
the Nation; their  reputation  is  synonymous  with  excellence  in  the
arduous field of fire protection and prevention; and

  WHEREAS,  Since  the  early days of "teapot steamers," the volunteer
firefighter has been the cornerstone of our great  Nation's  efforts  to
spare us from the ravages of fire; and

  WHEREAS,  This  Legislative Body is justly proud to commend Honorary
Chief Joseph Choinski upon the occasion of his designation  for  special
recognition  after  50  years  of dedicated service to the New Hyde Park
Fire Department to be celebrated at  its  Annual  Inspection  Dinner  on
Saturday,  May  14,  2022,  at  Crest Hollow Country Club, Woodbury, New
York; and

  WHEREAS, Joseph Choinski was appointed to membership to the New Hyde
Park Fire Department on May 2, 1972; he has also been an  active  member
of  Protection  Engine Company No. 2 , serving as Captain as well as 1st
and 2nd Lieutenant; and

  WHEREAS,  Volunteer  firefighters  and  fire  departments  not  only
provide the critical service of fire protection but also engage in other
activities  of  great  benefit  and  importance  to the communities they
serve; 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;
Honorary  Chief  Joseph  Choinski is one such 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  Honorary  Chief  Joseph  Choinski  upon  the  occasion  of  his
designation for special recognition after 50 years of dedicated  service
to the New Hyde Park Fire Department; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Firefighter Honorary Chief Joseph Choinski.
