Commending William Parmenter upon the occasion of his designation as recipient of a Liberty Medal, the highest honor bestowed upon an individual by the New York State Senate

This Senate resolution formally commends William Parmenter for receiving the Liberty Medal, the New York State Senate's highest individual honor. The measure recognizes his heroic actions during a maritime rescue in July 2024, where he used his emergency medical training to treat a bleeding victim found at sea. As a member of the Suffolk County Police Department and a former Coast Guard member, Parmenter applied tourniquets to save a life before coordinating with rescue services for the victim's evacuation. The bill serves as an official acknowledgment of his bravery and humanitarian efforts rather than creating new laws or policies.
