        COMMENDING  Honorary Chief Charles Albers upon the
        occasion of his designation for special  recognition
        after  50 years of dedicated service to the Franklin
        Square & Munson Fire Department of Franklin  Square,
        New York

  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 Honorary
Chief Charles Albers upon the occasion of his  designation  for  special
recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the Franklin Square &
Munson  Fire Department to be celebrated at a party held in honor of the
Chief on Saturday, March 12, 2022, at the Fire Station  Headquarters  in
Franklin Square, New York; and

  WHEREAS,  Charles  Albers  joined  the Franklin Square & Munson Fire
Department in January of 1972; he has been a member of the  Department's
Heavy Rescue Company since he began, and is one of its Captains; and

  WHEREAS,  The Chief Dispatcher for Franklin Square & Munson, Charles
Albers is also a member of the Fire Police Squad; he served as the Chair
of many committees throughout the Department,  including  the  Budget  &
Audit Committee, and today remains an active ambulance driver; and

  WHEREAS,  Throughout his five decades of service, he has continually
demonstrated a high knowledge and understanding of leadership, training,
and educational roles with the department and his crews; 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;
Honorary  Chief  Charles  Albers  is one such 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
honor Honorary Chief Charles Albers upon the occasion of his designation

for  special  recognition  after  50  years  of dedicated service to the
Franklin Square & Munson Fire Department; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Honorary Chief Charles Albers.
