BY: Senator MARTINS
HONORING Eric Boos upon the occasion of his
designation for special recognition after 20 years
of dedicated service to the Williston Park 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 Eric Boos
upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition after 20
years of dedicated service to the Williston Park Fire Department, to be
celebrated at the Annual Inspection and Inspection Dinner on Saturday,
April 25, 2026, at the Milleridge Cottage; and
WHEREAS, Eric Boos has consistently demonstrated a level of
commitment, dedication, integrity and professionalism which truly
exemplifies excellence in the volunteer service; and
WHEREAS, With a desire to serve those in his community, Eric Boos
joined the Williston Park Fire Department as a member of Hose and
Salvage Company No. 3 on May 3, 2005; and
WHEREAS, Over Eric Boos' two decades of service, he has served the
Williston Park Fire Department in various roles, including as 2nd
Lieutenant, 1st Lieutenant, and Captain; 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;
Eric Boos is such a firefighter; throughout 20 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
