Senate Resolution No. 791
 
BY: Senator OBERACKER
 
        HONORING  Firefighter  Richard  W. Burton upon the
        occasion of his  designation  as  recipient  of  the
        Lifetime  Achievement  Award  by  the  Norwich  Fire
        Department
 
  WHEREAS, Citizens across our State and Nation are  inspired  by  and
indebted to our noble firefighters who exhibit courage and bravery every
day in the course of their duties; and
 
  WHEREAS,  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
Richard  W.  Burton upon the occasion of his designation as recipient of
the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Norwich  Fire  Department,  to  be
celebrated on Saturday, April 29, 2023; and
 
  WHEREAS,  Richard W. Burton has consistently demonstrated a level of
commitment,  dedication,  integrity,  and  professionalism  which  truly
exemplifies excellence in the fire service; and
 
  WHEREAS,  With  a steadfast and unwavering commitment to the Norwich
Fire Department's George Rider Hook and Ladder Company for more than  30
years,  Richard  W.  Burton  followed  in  his  father and grandfather's
footsteps and climbed the ranks to become an Explorer Advisor,  training
officer,  instructor,  safety  officer,  Company President, Captain, 3rd
Assistant Chief and 2nd Assistant Chief; and
 
  WHEREAS, Firefighters unwaveringly serve our great State with pride,
valor, and integrity; these respected men and women 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;
Richard W. Burton is such a firefighter; throughout his years of devoted
service, he 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 Richard W. Burton upon the occasion of his designation
as  recipient  of  the  Lifetime  Achievement  Award by the Norwich Fire
Department; and be it further
 
  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted to Firefighter Richard W. Burton.
