Assembly Resolution No. 313

BY: M. of A. Thiele

        HONORING  Firefighter  Edward  Otis  III  upon the
        occasion of his designation for special  recognition
        after  45  years  of dedicated service to the Quogue
        Fire Department

  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
Edward  Otis  III  upon  the  occasion  of  his  designation for special
recognition after 45 years of  dedicated  service  to  the  Quogue  Fire
Department  to  be celebrated at the Quogue Fire Department Installation
Dinner on Saturday, May 11, 2019, at the Quogue Field Club, Quogue,  New
York; 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,  Individuals  who give of their time and energies and serve
in  the  best  interest  of  their  communities  are  an  asset   beyond
remuneration and cannot be sufficiently extolled; 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;
Edward Otis III is such a firefighter; throughout 45  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 Edward Otis III upon the occasion of  his  designation
for  special  recognition  after  45  years  of dedicated service to the
Quogue Fire Department; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted to Firefighter Edward Otis III.
