BY: M. of A. Thiele

COMMENDING Firefighter Edward Moore upon the
occasion of his designation for special recognition
after 25 years of dedicated service to various fire
districts including the Quogue Fire Department

WHEREAS, The firefighters of New York State are renowned throughout
the Nation; their reputation is synonymous with excellence in the
arduous field of fire protection and prevention; and

WHEREAS, Since the early days of "teapot steamers," the volunteer
firefighter has been the cornerstone of our great Nation's efforts to
spare us from the ravages of fire; and

WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is proud to commend Firefighter
Edward Moore upon the occasion of his designation for special
recognition after 25 years of dedicated service to various fire
districts including the Quogue Fire Department to be celebrated at its
Annual Installation Dinner on Friday, May 18, 2018, at Docker's
Waterside, East Quogue, New York; and

WHEREAS, Volunteer firefighters and fire departments not only
provide the critical service of fire protection but also engage in other
activities of great benefit and importance to the communities they
serve; 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;
Edward Moore is such a firefighter; throughout 25 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
commend Firefighter Edward Moore for 25 years of distinguished service;
and be it further
