BY: Senator BORRELLO

        HONORING  Firefighter  Bruce  C. Caldwell upon the
        occasion of his designation for special  recognition
        after  56  years of dedicated service to the Belmont
        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
Bruce  C.  Caldwell  upon  the  occasion  of his designation for special
recognition after 56 years of dedicated  service  to  the  Belmont  Fire
Company; and

  WHEREAS,  Bruce C. Caldwell was born to Robert and Grace Caldwell on
April 4, 1937, in Kane, Pennsylvania; later, he and his family moved  to
Belmont, New York, where he graduated from high school; and

  WHEREAS,  Bruce C. Caldwell joined the Belmont Fire Company on April
1, 1963; throughout his 56 years of service, he  held  the  position  of
Secretary for several years and was a member of the fire police; and

  WHEREAS,  In addition to his stellar work with the Company, Bruce C.
Caldwell served as a Village of Belmont Trustee  and  Deputy  Mayor  for
several  terms;  he  is  retired  from Dresser Rand where he worked as a
Manufacturing Engineering Supervisor for 35 years; 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;
Bruce  C.  Caldwell  is  one  such  firefighter;  throughout 56 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 Bruce C. Caldwell upon the occasion of his designation
for  special  recognition  after  56  years  of dedicated service to the
Belmont Fire Company; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted to Firefighter Bruce C. Caldwell.
