BY: Senator GRIFFO

COMMENDING Deputy Chief Ronald Duda for special
recognition after 35 years of dedicated service to
the Boonville Volunteer Fire Company

WHEREAS, Citizens across our State and Nation are inspired by and
indebted to our noble firefighters who exhibit courage and bravery every
day in the course of their duties; 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, This Legislative Body is justly proud to commend Deputy
Chief Ronald Duda for special recognition after 35 years of dedicated
service to the Boonville Volunteer Fire Company to be celebrated at its
Annual Banquet on Saturday, April 17, 2020, at the Boonville Elks Lodge;
and

WHEREAS, Deputy Chief Ronald Duda joined the Boonville Volunteer
Fire Company in 1985; and

WHEREAS, Firefighters unwaveringly serve our great State with pride,
valor, and integrity; they 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;
Ronald Dada is one such firefighter; throughout 35 years of devoted
service, he 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 Deputy Chief Ronald Duda for special recognition after 35 years
of dedicated service to the Boonville Volunteer Fire Company; and be it
further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Deputy Chief Ronald Duda.
