WHEREAS, From time to time, this Legislative Body takes note of certain altruistic organizations it wishes to acknowledge for their philanthropic and community-oriented contributions to our society which enhance the basic humanity among all the citizens of New York State; and

WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is proudly moved to commemorate and commend the members of the Waterloo Memorial Post No. 6433, past and present, who have labored so conscientiously to secure and improve the quality of life for the community they serve; now, therefore, be it
