Commending Simon Lissner 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

Senate Resolution J 1582 commends Simon Lissner posthumously for receiving the Liberty Medal, the highest honor awarded by the New York State Senate for exceptional heroism. The resolution recognizes Lissner's actions in a January 2026 house fire that saved his wife, daughter, and daughter's boyfriend, as well as his 33-year military career and volunteer work with the Kissing Bridge Ski Patrol. It directs that a copy of the resolution be transmitted to his family as a formal tribute. This is a symbolic gesture with no policy or legal impact, solely honoring his legacy.
