Senate Resolution No. 1033

BY: Senator MARTINS

 HONORING Ex-Chief Thomas Garland upon the occasion
 of his designation for special recognition after 45
 years of dedicated service to the Floral Park Centre
 Fire Department

 WHEREAS, Citizens across our State and Nation are inspired by and
indebted to our noble firefighters who exhibit courage and bravery every
day in the course of their duties; and

 WHEREAS, 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
Thomas Garland upon the occasion of his designation for special
recognition after 45 years of dedicated service to the Floral Park
Centre Fire Department to be celebrated on Friday, May 16, 2025, at the
100th Annual Installation of Officers Dinner Dance at the Westbury Manor
in Westbury, New York; and

 WHEREAS, Thomas Garland has consistently demonstrated a level of
commitment, dedication, integrity and professionalism which truly
exemplifies excellence in the fire service; and

 WHEREAS, With great distinction and enthusiasm, Thomas Garland
served the fire company as Chief of the Department from 1989-1990, and
as president of the executive board; and

 WHEREAS, Firefighters unwaveringly serve our great State with pride,
valor, and integrity; these respected heroes 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;
Thomas Garland is such a firefighter; throughout 45 years of devoted
service, this firefighter 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 Thomas Garland upon the occasion of his designation for
special recognition after 45 years of dedicated service to the Floral
Park Centre Fire Department; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Ex-Chief Thomas Garland.
