Assembly Resolution No. 462
BY: M. of A. Jones
HONORING Larry Leduc upon the occasion of his
designation for special recognition after 50 years
of dedicated service to the Fort Covington Fire &
Rescue 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 Larry Leduc
upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition after 50
years of dedicated service to the Fort Covington Fire & Rescue
Department to be celebrated at its Annual Banquet on Saturday, May 20,
2017; and
WHEREAS, In 1957, Larry Leduc joined the Bombay Fire Department,
where he served for 10 years before moving to the Fort Covington Fire &
Rescue Department in 1967; and
WHEREAS, Throughout his 50 years of service, Larry Leduc held the
position of Assistant Chief on two separate occasions, and was one of
the founding members of the rescue squad when it was formed in 1970;
today, he is still an active participant of both the Fort Covington Fire
& Rescue Department and EMS; and
WHEREAS, For his steadfast and unremitting commitment to the
Department and his community, Larry Leduc was the recipient of the
Presidents Cup Award, the Chiefs Award and several Most Calls Award; 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;
Larry Leduc is such a firefighter; throughout 50 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 Larry Leduc upon the occasion of his designation for special
recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the Fort Covington
Fire & Rescue Department; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Larry Leduc.
