        COMMEMORATING  the  100th Anniversary of the James
        S. Moore American Legion Post No. 167  on  July  27,
        2019

  WHEREAS,  It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize that
the quality and character of life in the  communities  across  New  York
State  are  reflective  of  the concerned and dedicated efforts of those
patriotic organizations and individuals who  devote  themselves  to  the
welfare of the community and its citizenry; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
commemorate  the 100th Anniversary of the James S. Moore American Legion
Post No. 167 at an event celebrated on Saturday, July 27, 2019; and

  WHEREAS, The American Legion  Centennial  Celebration  is  not  only
about  honoring the past 100 years of its history, but also preparing to
continue its legacy of service to veterans and  their  families;  events
and  activities  at  posts  around  the world will showcase The American
Legion "Still Serving America"; and

  WHEREAS, The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919, as a
patriotic veteran's  organization;  focusing  on  service  to  veterans,
service  members  and  communities,  the  American Legion evolved from a
group of war-weary veterans  of  World  War  I  into  one  of  the  most
influential nonprofit groups in the United States; and

  WHEREAS,   Over  the  years,  the  American  Legion  has  influenced
considerable social change in America,  won  hundreds  of  benefits  for
veterans  and  produced  many important programs for children and youth;
membership  currently  stands  at  over  2.4  million  in  14,000  posts
worldwide; and

  WHEREAS,  James  S.  Moore  American Legion Post No. 167, located in
Downsville, New York, is a leading  advocate  for  veterans;  formed  to
uphold  and  defend the Constitution of the United States of America; to
maintain law and order; to  foster  and  perpetuate  a  true  spirit  of
Americanism;  to  preserve  the  memories  of  former  members  and  the
associations of members and forefathers in the Great Wars; and

  WHEREAS, The success of the James S. Moore American Legion Post  No.
167  is  in  direct  correlation  to  the  efforts  of  its  members and
volunteers, whose involvement is, and always has been, characterized  by
an impressive commitment, an unbridled enthusiasm, and an uncompromising
standard  of  excellence  in all endeavors on behalf of the organization
and the community it serves; and

  WHEREAS, Today, the James S. Moore  American  Legion  Post  No.  167
continues  its  dedication  to  fostering  the traditions of patriotism,
excellence, and commitment which have made our nation strong; it is  the
custom  of  this Legislative Body to recognize the significance of their
contributions and to note their worthy endeavors which have  earned  the

recognition and applause of all the citizens of this great Empire State;
now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the James S. Moore American  Legion
Post No. 167 on July 27, 2019; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
