Senate Resolution No. 714
BY: Senator MARTINS
HONORING Firefighter Steve Bauer upon the occasion
of his designation for special recognition after 55
years of dedicated service to the Oyster Bay 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
Steve Bauer upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition
after 55 years of dedicated service to the Oyster Bay Fire Department to
be celebrated at its Annual Installation Dinner at Crescent Beach Club
in Bayville, New York, on Friday, April 21, 2023; 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;
Steve Bauer is one such firefighter; throughout 55 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 Steve Bauer upon the occasion of his designation for
special recognition after 55 years of dedicated service to the Oyster
Bay Fire Department; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Firefighter Steve Bauer.
