Commends Michael Philip Pitre, Michael Susinno, Shane McCoy, and John McPartland as recipients of the New York State Senate Liberty Medal, the highest honor bestowed by the Senate.

Honors their heroic actions on June 23, 2024, when they rescued a 33-year-old woman from a burning vehicle on Bread and Cheese Hollow Road in Northport, Long Island.

Documents how the four men worked together to remove the woman from the crashed, burning Hyundai and provide emergency care, including stopping severe bleeding from a lacerated leg.

Notes that Michael Susinno, an Orchestra Director at Northport High School, recognized and comforted the victim, who was his student 20 years earlier.

Directs that copies of the resolution be transmitted to all four recipients.
