Senate Resolution No. 1735

BY: Senator MARTINS

 HONORING Ex-Chief Philip WM. Grella Jr. upon the
 occasion of his designation for special recognition
 after many years of dedicated service to the Glen
 Cove 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 Ex-Chief
Philip WM. Grella Jr. upon the occasion of his designation for special
recognition after many years of dedicated service to the Glen Cove Fire
Department, to be celebrated at the Glen Cove Fire Department's Annual
Installation Dinner on Saturday, April 11, 2026; and

 WHEREAS, Ex-Chief Philip WM. Grella Jr. has consistently
demonstrated a level of commitment, dedication, integrity, and
professionalism which truly exemplifies excellence in the volunteer
service; and

 WHEREAS, Filled with a strong desire to lead his fellow
firefighters, Ex-Chief Philip WM. Grella Jr. served as chief of the
department from 2016-2017 and, most recently, from 2024-2025; and

 WHEREAS, Under Ex-Chief Philip WM. Grella Jr.'s strong leadership,
the Glen Cove Fire Department was able to serve its community with care,
compassion, and strength; 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-Chief Philip WM. Grella Jr. is such a firefighter; throughout his
many 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-Chief Philip WM. Grella Jr. upon the occasion of his
designation for special recognition after many years of dedicated
service to the Glen Cove Volunteer Fire Department; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Ex-Chief Philip WM. Grella Jr.
