Senate Resolution No. 1088
BY: Senator MARTINS
HONORING Chief Roland Sarraco upon the occasion of
his designation for special recognition for his
service to the Garden City 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, 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 Chief Roland
Sarraco upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition for
his service to the Garden City Park Fire Department, to be celebrated at
their 112th Annual Installation Dinner in Woodbury, New York; 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;
Chief Roland Sarraco is one such firefighter; throughout years of
devoted service, serving as Chief from 2021-2022, 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 Chief Roland Sarraco upon the occasion of his designation for
special recognition after his years of dedicated service to the Garden
City Park Fire Department; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Chief Roland Sarraco.
