the praise and respect of the community which they serve; and
WHEREAS, With a membership of dedicated firefighters and emergency
medical personnel, the record of the Neversink Fire Department EMS in

left their homes and went to the aid of their neighbors; and

to risk their lives every day to help save the lives of others; and

over the past six decades; and

present, merit the highest commendation for their contributions to the
noble missions of this life-saving organization; and
WHEREAS, This Legislative Body cannot express sufficient gratitude to
those devoted individuals who recognize that the preservation of life
and property is a sacred responsibility and who make that responsibility
their own by serving as firefighters and emergency medical personnel;
and
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that we should give
special recognition to those who work so assiduously for the betterment
of their communities, and acknowledge publicly the heroic good works
performed by the volunteer fire departments of this great Empire State,
their officers and auxiliaries; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to

ment EMS; and be it further
