This is a ceremonial Senate resolution (J 23) commending Joseph Mark Fletcher posthumously for receiving the New York State Senate's Liberty Medal - the highest honor awarded to an individual. The resolution honors Fletcher's military service as a Green Beret paratrooper in Vietnam, his post-military career, and his character, recognizing his "exceptional, heroic, or humanitarian acts." It does not create new laws or affect policies; it is a formal tribute to honor his legacy and the service of veterans. The Senate formally adopted the resolution on January 14, 2025.
