firefighter has been the cornerstone of our great Nation's efforts to
spare us from the ravages of fire; and

after 50 years of dedicated service to the West Glens Falls Volunteer
Fire Company, to be celebrated on Friday, January 14, 2011; and

the critical service of fire protection but also engage in other activ-
ities of great benefit and importance to the communities they serve; and

Gregory's sacrifices and his selfless dedication merit tribute and
recognition by all citizens of West Glens Falls; and
