Commending Private Leonard Cesternino 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 resolution (not a bill) commending Private Leonard Cesternino posthumously for receiving New York State's Liberty Medal, the Senate's highest honor for individuals. It recognizes his service and sacrifice during WWII as a 20-year-old artilleryman killed in action in Italy in 1943, and directs the Senate to formally honor him at a Columbia County veterans ceremony. The resolution has no policy impact - it solely expresses legislative recognition and will be presented to his family.
