Senate Resolution No. 1947

BY: Senator STEC

 HONORING Donald J. Volkmann upon the occasion of
 his designation for special recognition after 50
 years of dedicated service to the Bolton 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 Donald J.
Volkmann upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition
after 50 years of dedicated service to the Bolton Fire Department to be
celebrated on May 2, 2026; and

 WHEREAS, Donald J. Volkmann has consistently demonstrated a level of
commitment, dedication, integrity and professionalism which truly
exemplifies excellence in the volunteer service; and

 WHEREAS, Since joining the Bolton Fire Department in 1968, Donald J.
Volkmann has served the department in a great number of positions
including as 2nd lieutenant, 4th Assistant Chief, 2nd Assistant Chief,
1st Assistant Chief, Fire Chief, Fire Commissioner, President, and
Chairman of the Board of Fire Commissioners; 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;
Donald J. Volkmann 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
honor Donald J. Volkmann upon the occasion of his designation for
special recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the Bolton
Fire Department; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Donald J. Volkmann.
