Commending Aidan Kane, Tyler Sodja, and Donato Jellenich upon the occasion of their designation as recipients of a Liberty Medal, the highest honor bestowed upon an individual by the New York State Senate
This Senate Resolution (J 1148) formally commends three high school juniors - Aidan Kane, Tyler Sodja, and Donato Jellenich - for receiving the New York State Senate's Liberty Medal, the chamber's highest honor for heroic acts. It recognizes their immediate actions on May 17, 2025, after a fire broke out near a home: they alerted residents, investigated the fire, called emergency services, and helped evacuate a family. The resolution has no policy impact - it is purely ceremonial, honoring their selfless response without creating new laws or affecting any regulations.
