BY: M. of A. Palumbo

COMMENDING Firefighter John Plisko upon the
occasion of his designation for special recognition
after 50 years of dedicated service to the
Manorville 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 John Plisko upon the occasion of his designation for special
recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the Manorville Fire
Department to be celebrated at its 76th Annual Inspection Dinner on
Saturday, April 28, 2018, at Majestic Gardens in Rocky Point, New York;
and

WHEREAS, John Plisko joined the Manorville Fire Department in
September of 1967; throughout his 50 years of service, he has held
several positions within the Department including: 1st and 2nd Assistant
Chiefs, Chief, and Fire District Commissioner; since 1999, he has been a
member of the Department's Board of Directors; 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;
John Plisko is such a firefighter; throughout 50 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 John Plisko upon the occasion of his designation for
special recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the
Manorville Fire Department; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Firefighter John Plisko.
