Senate Resolution No. 1235

BY: Senator LAVALLE

HONORING Firefighter Philip Fallo upon the
occasion of his designation for special recognition
after 50 years of dedicated service to the Hampton
Bays 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 honor Firefighter
Philip Fallo upon the occasion of his designation for special
recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the Hampton Bays Fire
Department to be celebrated at the Annual Awards dinner in Hampton Bays,
New York, on May 17, 2019; and

WHEREAS, Remaining true to its mission, the Hampton Bays Fire
Department provides the highest degree of protection to the residents of
Hampton Bays and their property; and

WHEREAS, Philip Fallo joined the Hampton Bays Fire Department in
April 4, 1968; 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;
Philip Fallo 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
honor Firefighter Philip Fallo upon the occasion of his designation for
special recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the Hampton
Bays Fire Department; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Firefighter Philip Fallo.
