Assembly Resolution No. 1103

BY: M. of A. Palumbo

COMMENDING Firefighter Matthew J. Martin upon the
occasion of his designation for special recognition
after 60 years of dedicated service to the Cutchogue
Fire Department

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 Matthew J. Martin upon the occasion of his designation for
special recognition after 60 years of dedicated service to the Cutchogue
Fire Department to be celebrated at its Annual Installation of Chiefs
and Uniform Inspection Dinner on Sunday, April 22, 2018, at Giorgio's
Baiting Hollow in Baiting Hollow, New York; and

WHEREAS, Matthew J. Martin joined the Cutchogue Fire Department in
1958; throughout his 60 years of service, he has held several positions
within the Department, Company, and District; 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;
Matthew J. Martin is such a firefighter; throughout 60 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 Matthew J. Martin upon the occasion of his
designation for special recognition after 60 years of dedicated service
to the Cutchogue Fire Department; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Firefighter Matthew J. Martin.
