BY: Senator MARTINS
HONORING Firefighter Vincent Delgatto upon the
occasion of his designation for special recognition
after 25 years of dedicated service to the East
Williston 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
Vincent Delgatto upon the occasion of his designation for special
recognition after 25 years of dedicated service to the East Williston
Fire Department to be celebrated at the 136th Annual Installation of
Officers at the Wheatley Hills Golf Club in East Williston, New York on
Saturday, May 10, 2025; and
WHEREAS, Vincent Delgatto has consistently demonstrated a level of
commitment, dedication, integrity and professionalism which truly
exemplifies excellence in the volunteer service; 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;
Vincent Delgatto is such a firefighter; throughout 25 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 Vincent Delgatto upon the occasion of his designation
for special recognition after 25 years of dedicated service to the East
Williston Fire Department; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Firefighter Vincent Delgatto.
