WHEREAS, The firefighters of New York State are renowned throughout
the Nation; their reputation is synonymous with excellence in the

firefighter has been the cornerstone of our great Nation's efforts to
spare us from the ravages of fire; and

Christopher Osborne upon the occasion of his designation for special
recognition after 30 years of dedicated service to various fire
districts including the Quogue Fire Department to be celebrated at its

WHEREAS, Volunteer firefighters and fire departments not only
provide the critical service of fire protection but also engage in other
