Senate Resolution No. 712

BY: Senator MARTINS

        HONORING   Firefighter   Douglas  Flynn  upon  the
        occasion of his designation for special  recognition
        after  35  years  of dedicated service to the Oyster
        Bay 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
Douglas   Flynn  upon  the  occasion  of  his  designation  for  special
recognition after 35 years of dedicated service to the Oyster  Bay  Fire
Department  to  be  celebrated  at  its  Annual  Installation  Dinner at
Crescent Beach Club in Bayville, New York, on Friday,  April  21,  2023;
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;
Douglas Flynn is one such firefighter; throughout 35  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 Douglas Flynn upon the occasion of his designation for
special recognition after 35 years of dedicated service  to  the  Oyster
Bay Fire Department; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Firefighter Douglas Flynn.
