Commending Leigha Walker upon the occasion of her designation as recipient of a Liberty Medal, the highest honor bestowed upon an individual by the New York State Senate

This resolution formally commends Leigha Walker, an 18-year-old Holley High School student and Subway employee, for saving a man's life during a June 9, 2024, car crash. It recognizes her immediate actions - including calling 911, breaking a truck window, administering CPR, and providing first aid - during a 12-minute emergency response. The New York State Senate awards her its Liberty Medal, the highest honor for individual acts of heroism, for her life-saving intervention. The resolution has no policy impact beyond this ceremonial recognition.
