of a Liberty Medal, the highest honor bestowed upon an individual by the

Resolution and is awarded to individuals who have merited special
commendation for exceptional, heroic, or humanitarian acts on behalf of
their fellow New Yorkers; and

experiencing a medical emergency, demonstrating the profound impact of
individual leadership in moments of crisis; and

Rebecca Boyer was alerted to an emergency in a parked vehicle outside
her business where a passenger was suffering from a heart attack; and

 WHEREAS, Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Rebecca Boyer
remained calm and focused as she provided aid until further help could
arrive; her decisive response ensured that the individual received
critical assistance during a life-threatening emergency, and a situation
that could have ended in tragedy, instead resulted in a saved life; and

 WHEREAS, Rebecca Boyer acted without hesitation and without regard
for recognition, guided solely by compassion and concern for another
person's life; and

demonstrated her character and compassion for the welfare of others,
exemplifying the best qualities inherent in our citizens; now,
therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
