CONGRATULATING Kevin Thomas Glaittli upon the
occasion of receiving the distinguished rank of

Troop 116 in Valley Stream, New York, where he served many leadership
positions including: Chaplain, Order of the Arrow Representative,
Assistant Patrol Leader, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, and Senior
Patrol Leader; and

WHEREAS, Every summer, Kevin Thomas Glaittli attended Onteora Scout
Reservation (OSR) where he filled his schedule with merit badge classes
and made friends with staff members and scouts alike; it was at OSR
where he went through his ordeal for the Order of the Arrow, became a
member, and achieved Brotherhood the next year; once a Life Scout, he
had begun thinking about the perfect project for his Eagle Scout
Project; and

WHEREAS, Kevin Thomas Glaittli graduated from Kellenberg Memorial
High School on June 3, 2018; he will continue his studies at the
University of Massachusetts Amherst with intent to pursue a career in
Law; and

WHEREAS, In addition to his studies, Kevin Thomas Glaittli aspires
to join the United States Marine Corps to fulfill his lifelong dream; he
expresses his sincere gratitude for all of those who have supported him
throughout his Scouting career; and

WHEREAS, America has achieved her greatest heights of glory through
the dedication, determination and tireless efforts of the outstanding
citizens of this Nation; and

WHEREAS, It is only with the continued diligence and devotion of our
youth, tomorrow's leaders, that America will maintain her glory; and

WHEREAS, The Boy Scouts of America and its members are dedicated to
the development of character and leadership in the youth of this Nation;
and

for many years, has lived up to Scouting's ideals and has attained all
of the necessary achievements, including completion of a community

service project, which was successfully planned, developed and executed;
and

WHEREAS, For his project, Kevin Thomas Glaittli centered his focus
on giving back to those men and women for whom he has the utmost
respect: those of the United States Military; as an addition to the
flag pole erected by Eagle Scout Ryan Plackis, outside of the Blessed
Sacrament Church, Kevin had decided to create a war memorial in honor of
American Catholic veterans; the project consisted of a bronze plaque
mounted on stone, a two level patio, a stairway with railings, and two
wooden benches; Kevin said, "My ambition for the project was to create a
place where people can sit and pay homage to our fellow Americans who
have made the ultimate sacrifice in selfless service to our great
nation. I will never be able to personally thank all those brave men and
women, but I can pay homage to their legacies through my Eagle Scout
Project."; and

WHEREAS, Kevin Thomas Glaittli's perseverance in rising through the
ranks to Eagle Scout is a strong indication of his ability to master
difficult tasks; his accomplishment will enable him to emerge as a
leader, fully equipped to meet the challenges of today's complex
society; and

WHEREAS, This new Eagle Scout is a credit to his family, his school,
his community, his State and his Nation, and no doubt his future will be
filled with accomplishments of equal importance; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations, in
recognition of the significance of this meritorious achievement, to
congratulate and honor Kevin Thomas Glaittli on achieving the rank of
Eagle Scout; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Kevin Thomas Glaittli.
