Senate Resolution No. 810

BY: Senator LAVALLE

COMMENDING Firefighter Nano Bustamante upon the
occasion of his designation for special recognition
after five years of dedicated service to the Mount
Sinai Fire District

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 Nano Bustamante upon the occasion of his designation for
special recognition after five years of dedicated service to the Mount
Sinai Fire District, to be celebrated at its 89th Annual Inspection and
Installation Dinner on Saturday, May 4, 2019, at Villa Lombardi's in
Holbrook, 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, Volunteer firefighters and fire departments not only
provide the critical service of fire protection but also engage in other
activities of great benefit and importance to the communities they
serve; 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;
Nano Bustamante is such a firefighter; throughout five 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 Nano Bustamante upon the occasion of his designation
for special recognition after five years of dedicated service to the
Mount Sinai Fire District; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Firefighter Nano Bustamante.
