HONORING Firefighter Thomas Kelleher upon the
occasion of his designation for special recognition
after 35 years of dedicated service to Kenilworth
Volunteer Fire Company No. 1
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
State and Nation; and
WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to honor Firefighter
Thomas Kelleher upon the occasion of his designation for special
recognition after 35 years of dedicated service to Kenilworth Volunteer
Fire Company No. 1; and
WHEREAS, Firefighter Thomas Kelleher 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;
Thomas Kelleher is such a firefighter; throughout 35 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 Thomas Kelleher upon the occasion of his designation
for special recognition after 35 years of dedicated service to
Kenilworth Volunteer Fire Company No. 1; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Firefighter Thomas Kelleher.
