        COMMENDING  Dan  Rosenberger  upon the occasion of
        his designation as recipient of a Liberty Medal, the
        highest honor bestowed upon an individual by the New
        York State Senate

  WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to  recognize  and
commend  the  caring  concern  and  heroic  acts of individuals who take
prompt and appropriate action in  emergency  situations,  nobly  risking
their own lives in an effort to preserve the life of another; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
commend  Dan  Rosenberger  upon  the  occasion  of  his  designation  as
recipient of a  Liberty  Medal,  the  highest  honor  bestowed  upon  an
individual by the New York State Senate; and

  WHEREAS,  The New York State Senate Liberty Medal was established by
Resolution and is  awarded  to  individuals  who  have  merited  special
commendation  for exceptional, heroic, or humanitarian acts on behalf of
their fellow New Yorkers; and

  WHEREAS, On the afternoon of Friday, September  2,  2022,  while  on
vacation with his family in Cape Cod, off-duty Larchmont Firefighter Dan
Rosenberger rushed to the aid of an unconscious man; and

  WHEREAS,  Without  hesitation, Dan Rosenberger assessed the patient,
determined  he  had  no  pulse,  and  began  administering  CPR;   while
performing  compressions,  he  also  coached the patient's girlfriend on
properly giving rescue breaths until local emergency responders  arrived
on the scene; and

  WHEREAS, The patient regained consciousness and was transported to a
local health facility; and

  WHEREAS,  In  addition to serving as an EMT and Firefighter with the
Larchmont Fire Department, Dan Rosenberger is a Registered Nurse at  the
White Plains Center for Nursing Care; and

  WHEREAS,  A truly brave and courageous man, Dan Rosenberger played a
vital role in this extraordinary rescue effort, and should be praised by
the people of  this  great  Empire  State  for  his  astute  actions  in
preserving the life of another; and

  WHEREAS,  Dan Rosenberger, in his spontaneous and heroic act, has so
aptly demonstrated his character  and  compassion  for  the  welfare  of
others, personifying, by virtue of his action, the collective concern of
ordinary citizens across the community of New York State who voluntarily
respond  without  thought of danger or reward when others are in need of
help; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
commend  Dan  Rosenberger  upon  the  occasion  of  his  designation  as

recipient of a  Liberty  Medal,  the  highest  honor  bestowed  upon  an
individual by the New York State Senate; and be it further
