Senate Resolution No. 2931

BY: Senator KAPLAN

COMMENDING Firefighter Daniel Iglesias Sr. upon
the occasion of his designation for special
recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to
Carle Place Hook, Ladder and Hose Company No. 1

WHEREAS, Citizens across our State and Nation are inspired by and
indebted to our noble volunteer firefighters who exhibit courage and
bravery every day in the course of their duties; and

WHEREAS, Volunteer 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, This Legislative Body is justly proud to commend
Firefighter Daniel Iglesias Sr. upon the occasion of his designation for
special recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to Carle Place
Hook, Ladder and Hose Company No. 1 to be celebrated at its Annual
Inspection and Installation Dinner on Saturday, March 14, 2020, at
Carltun at Eisenhower Park, East Meadow, New York; and

WHEREAS, Firefighters unwaveringly serve our great State with pride,
valor, and integrity; these respected volunteers are often the first to
respond to an emergency, whether the emergency is a fire, transportation
accident, natural disaster, act of terrorism, medical crisis, or spill
of hazardous materials; 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;
Daniel Iglesias Sr. is one such firefighter; throughout 50 years of
devoted service, this volunteer heroically performed, above and beyond
the call of duty, those responsibilities which define the task of fire
protection; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend Firefighter Daniel Iglesias Sr. upon the occasion of his
designation for special recognition after 50 years of dedicated service
to Carle Place Hook, Ladder and Hose Company No. 1; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Firefighter Daniel Iglesias Sr.
