Senate Resolution No. 750

BY: Senator O'MARA

        COMMENDING   Firefighter  Gary  Johnson  upon  the
        occasion of his designation for special  recognition
        after  50  years  of  dedicated service to the South
        Corning 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   commend
Firefighter  Gary  Johnson  upon  the  occasion  of  his designation for
special recognition after 50 years of dedicated  service  to  the  South
Corning Fire Department on Monday, May 27, 2019; and

  WHEREAS,  Gary  Johnson  joined the South Corning Fire Department on
May 27, 1969; throughout his years  of  service,  he  has  held  several
positions  within  the  Department  including Assistant Chief and Rescue
Captain; Gary's wife, the late Kim Johnson, was a member  of  the  South
Corning Fire Department's Auxiliary; 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;
Gary Johnson is such a  firefighter;  throughout  50  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
commend Firefighter Gary Johnson upon the occasion  of  his  designation
for special recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the South
Corning Fire Department; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Firefighter Gary Johnson.
