Senate Resolution No. 1536

BY: Senator MARTINS

 HONORING Joseph Flanagan upon the occasion of his
 designation for special recognition after 50 years
 of dedicated service to Alert Engine, Hook, Ladder
 and Hose Company No. 1

 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 Joseph
Flanagan upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition
after 50 years of dedicated service to Alert Engine, Hook, Ladder and
Hose Company No. 1, to be celebrated on Thursday, March 5, 2026; and

 WHEREAS, Born and raised in Great Neck, New York, Joseph Flanagan
joined Alert Engine, Hook, Ladder and Hose Company No. 1 on March 4,
1976; throughout his tenure, he has consistently demonstrated a level of
commitment, dedication, integrity and professionalism which truly
exemplifies excellence in the volunteer service; 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;
Joseph Flanagan 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 Joseph Flanagan upon the occasion of his designation for special
recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to Alert Engine, Hook,
Ladder and Hose Company No. 1; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Joseph Flanagan.
