LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commending Fire Chief Don Hudson upon the occa-

Fire Department

WHEREAS, The firefighters of New York State are renowned throughout the
Nation; their reputation is synonymous with excellence in the arduous
field of fire protection and prevention; and
WHEREAS, Since the early days of "teapot steamers," the firefighter
has been the cornerstone of our great Nation's efforts to spare us from
the ravages of fire; and
WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is proud to commend Fire Chief Don
Hudson upon the occasion of his retirement after 28 years of dedicated
service to the Oneida Fire Department on Friday, May 13, 2011; and
WHEREAS, Don Hudson started his career with the Oneida Fire Department
on August 13, 1982, pursuing his childhood dream of becoming a profes-
sional firefighter; and
WHEREAS, Don Hudson is extremely respected and well loved by the
members of the brotherhood of the fire service; 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 country; 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; Don
Hudson is such a firefighter; throughout 28 years of devoted service,
this Chief Don Hudson performed above and beyond the call of duty, those
responsibilities which define the task of fire protection; now there-
fore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend Fire Chief Don Hudson upon the occasion of his retirement after
28 years of dedicated service to the Oneida Fire Department; and be it
