sion of his designation for special recognition after 25 years of dedi-
cated service to the Manhasset-Lakeville 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 volunteer
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 Ex-Captain Steven
Flynn upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition after
25 years of dedicated service to the Manhasset-Lakeville Fire Depart-
ment, to be celebrated at its 102nd Installation Dinner on Saturday,
April 12, 2014, at the Long Island Marriott Hotel in Uniondale, New
York; and
WHEREAS, Volunteer firefighters and fire departments not only provide
the critical service of fire protection but also engage in other activ-
ities of great benefit and importance to the communities they serve; and
WHEREAS, Ex-Captain Steven Flynn has been a member of Manhasset-Lake-
ville Fire Department Company No. 1 since April 20, 1989; he climbed the
ranks and served as 2nd Lieutenant from 1999 to 2001, 1st Lieutenant
from 2001 to 2003, and the esteemed position of Captain from 2003 to

WHEREAS, With him throughout have been his loving wife, Cynthia, and
their son, Aidan, both of whom feel privileged to be a part of his life
and rejoice in his achievements; and

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; Ex-Cap-
