Commending Cornell Morris 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 bill is a Senate resolution that formally commends Cornell Morris, a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel and licensed clinical social worker, for receiving the New York State Senate Liberty Medal. The resolution recognizes Morris's 25 years of military service, including deployments to Korea, Iraq, and support for disaster relief efforts, as well as his ongoing work supporting veterans and their families. The key provision is a formal acknowledgment of Morris's heroic and humanitarian contributions, with a copy of the resolution to be sent to him. This is a ceremonial measure that honors an individual's service rather than creating new laws or policies.
