Commemorating the life and service of World War II Veteran Private Harland J. Hennessey

Senate Resolution J 1184 commemorates the life and service of World War II Veteran Private Harland J. Hennessey, who died in 1942 as a prisoner of war after enduring the Bataan Death March. The resolution, adopted by the New York State Senate, formally honors his sacrifice and directs that a copy be sent to his family following the recent identification and return of his remains to the United States. This procedural resolution does not create new policy but serves as a symbolic tribute to a veteran who perished in a Philippine POW camp.
