BY: Senator GRIFFO

HONORING Steve Davis upon the occasion of his
designation for special recognition after 55 years
of dedicated service to the West Winfield Fire
Department

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 honor Steve Davis
upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition after 55
years of dedicated service to the West Winfield Fire Department; and

WHEREAS, Steve Davis has consistently demonstrated a level of
commitment, dedication, integrity, and professionalism which truly
exemplifies excellence in the firefighting service; and

WHEREAS, Firefighters unwaveringly serve our great State with pride,
valor, and integrity; these respected men and women 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;
Steve Davis is such a firefighter; throughout his 55 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
honor Steve Davis upon the occasion of his designation for special
recognition after 55 years of dedicated service to the West Winfield
Fire Department; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Steve Davis.
