BY: Senator JACOBS

        HONORING  Firefighter Tom Shanor upon the occasion
        of his designation as recipient of the 2019 Training
        Excellence Award by the Grand Island Fire Company

  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  Firefighter
Tom Shanor upon the occasion of his designation as recipient of the 2019
Training Excellence Award by the Grand Island Fire Company; and

  WHEREAS,  Firefighters  perform  selfless  tasks  quietly  and often
without the recognition they  deserve,  risking  their  lives  daily  to
protect the lives and property of the residents of New York State; and

  WHEREAS,  Tom  Shanor  is  receiving  this  auspicious award for his
steadfast and unremitting commitment to the Grand Island  Fire  Company;
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;
Tom Shanor 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 Firefighter Tom Shanor upon the occasion  of  his  designation  as
recipient of the 2019 Training Excellence Award by the Grand Island Fire
Company; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Firefighter Tom Shanor.
