standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor

the Nation; their reputation is synonymous with excellence in the ardu-
ous field of fire protection and prevention; and

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

checked the fire hall three times a day and tended to the building; and

service, David Perkins also helped out at Town Hall and at the American
Legion Post where he was a member; and
