HONORING outgoing President James Neubert upon the
occasion of his designation for special recognition
after over 36 years of dedicated service to the
Great Neck Alert Fire Company

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 honor outgoing
President James Neubert upon the occasion of his designation for special
recognition after over 36 years of dedicated service to the Great Neck
Alert Fire Company to be celebrated at its Installation Dinner on
Saturday, April 5, 2025, at The Inn at New Hyde Park; and

WHEREAS, James Neubert joined the department in October of 1988, and
has consistently demonstrated a level of commitment, dedication,
integrity and professionalism which truly exemplifies excellence in the
volunteer service; he served as President of the department from
November 2022 through December 2024; 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;
James Neubert is such a firefighter; throughout his many 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
honor outgoing President James Neubert upon the occasion of his
designation for special recognition after over 36 years of dedicated
service to the Great Neck Alert Fire Company; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to outgoing President James Neubert.
