Senate Resolution No. 456

BY: Senator MARTINS

 HONORING Ex-Captain Alan Paxton upon the occasion
 of his designation for special recognition after 50
 years of dedicated service to the Protection Fire
 Engine 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 selfless dedication
merit tribute and recognition by all citizens of this great country; and

 WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to honor Ex-Captain
Alan Paxton, upon the occasion of his designation for special
recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the Protection Fire
Engine Company No. 1, to be recognized at its Annual Installation and
Inspection Dinner on Saturday, April 5, 2025; and

 WHEREAS, A lifelong resident of Port Washington, New York, Alan
Paxton graduated from Paul D. Schreiber High School; and

 WHEREAS, On March 6, 1975, Alan Paxton joined the Protection Fire
Engine Company No. 1 in Port Washington; from 1987-1988, he served as
Captain; additionally, he has served on numerous fire engine committees,
including the Steward Committee; and

 WHEREAS, Alan Paxton is a retiree from the Port Washington Police
Department, further exemplifying his dedication to the residents of his
community; and

 WHEREAS, Alan Paxton 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;
Alan Paxton is such a firefighter; throughout his 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-Captain Alan Paxton upon the occasion of his designation for

special recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the
Protection Fire Engine Company No. 1; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Ex-Captain Alan Paxton.
