Commending Morgan Randall, Aidan Kane, Tyler Sojda, and Donato Jellencich upon the occasion of their designation as recipients of a Liberty Medal, the highest honor bestowed upon an individual by the NYS Senate
This Senate Resolution (J 1210) formally commends four high school students - Morgan Randall, Aidan Kane, Tyler Sodja, and Donato Jellenich - for receiving New York State's Liberty Medal, the Senate's highest honor for heroic acts. It recognizes their immediate actions on May 17, 2025, when they rescued two children and their father from a burning home after noticing a fire near their high school prom. The resolution honors their spontaneous, selfless intervention, including alerting residents, evacuating the family, and contacting emergency services. As a ceremonial resolution, it does not create new laws or policies but serves to publicly recognize these individuals' humanitarian contributions.
