J 1260 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Commending John J. O'Brien posthumously 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 is a ceremonial Senate resolution (J 1260), not a legislative bill. It formally commends John J. O'Brien posthumously for receiving the New York State Senate Liberty Medal - the Senate’s highest honor for individuals demonstrating exceptional service. The resolution recognizes O'Brien’s Korean War military service (1950-1952), his 28-year career with Verizon, and his decades of community involvement with veterans’ groups. It directs the Senate to pause its proceedings to honor him and sends a copy of the resolution to his family. No policy changes or financial impacts are involved.
