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

John Signorile upon the occasion of being named the Top Responder - Fire
by the East Williston Fire Department, to be celebrated at its 136th
Annual Installation of Officers at the Wheatley Hills Golf Club in East
Williston, New York; and
WHEREAS, John Signorile has consistently demonstrated a level of
commitment, dedication, integrity and professionalism which truly
exemplifies excellence in the volunteer service; and
WHEREAS, Firefighters perform selfless tasks quietly and often
without the recognition they deserve, risking their lives daily to
protect the lives and property of the residents of New York State; and

steadfast and unremitting commitment to the East Williston Fire
Department, responding to the most fire calls in 2024; 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 Signorile is such a firefighter; throughout his 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

honor Firefighter John Signorile upon the occasion of being named the
