LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION honoring outgoing President Craig Craft upon the
occasion of his designation for special recognition by the Association
of Fire Districts of Nassau County
WHEREAS, Citizens across our State and Nation are inspired by and
indebted to our valiant firefighters who exhibit courage and bravery
every day in the course of their duties; and
WHEREAS, 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 State; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to commend
outgoing President Craig Craft upon the occasion of his designation for
special recognition by the Association of Fire Districts of Nassau Coun-
ty at its Annual Installation of Officers dinner to be held Friday,
March 6, 2009, at the Crest Hollow Country Club, Woodbury, New York; and
WHEREAS, In his capacity as President, Craig Craft served with loyal-
ty, honor and distinction; and
WHEREAS, Firefighters and fire departments not only provide the crit-
ical service of fire protection but also engage in other activities of
great benefit and importance to the communities they serve; 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; Craig
Craft is such a firefighter; throughout his years of devoted service, he
heroically performed, above and beyond the call of duty, those responsi-
bilities which define the task of fire protection; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor outgoing President Craig Craft upon the occasion of his desig-
nation for special recognition by the Association of Fire Districts of
Nassau County; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to outgoing President Craig Craft, 1000 McLean Avenue, Wantagh,
