Senate Resolution No. 631

BY: Senator MARTINS

 HONORING Firefighter William T. Batterson Jr. upon
 the occasion of his designation for special
 recognition after 20 years of dedicated service to
 the Williston 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, 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
William T. Batterson Jr. upon the occasion of his designation for
special recognition after 20 years of dedicated service to the Williston
Park Fire Department to be celebrated at its Annual Dinner on April 26,
2025, at the Milleridge Cottage; and

 WHEREAS, William T. Batterson Jr. has consistently demonstrated a
level of commitment, dedication, integrity and professionalism which
truly exemplifies excellence in the volunteer service; and

 WHEREAS, William T. Batterson Jr. has served the Williston Park Fire
Department with distinction as a member of Hose and Salvage Company 3;
and

 WHEREAS, Throughout the years, William T. Batterson Jr. has served
the Williston Park Fire Department in many different capacities,
including as 2nd Lieutenant of the Emergency Rescue Squad, 1st
Lieutenant of the Emergency Rescue Squad, and Captain of the Emergency
Rescue Squad; 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;
William T. Batterson Jr. is such a firefighter; throughout 20 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 William T. Batterson Jr. upon the occasion of his
designation for special recognition after 20 years of dedicated service
to the Williston Park Fire Department; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Firefighter William T. Batterson Jr.
