LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION mourning the untimely death of Private Danny Chen
of New York, New York, and paying tribute to his courageous actions as a
member of the United States Army

WHEREAS, It is with feelings of deepest regret that this Legislative
Body mourns the untimely death of 19 year-old Private Danny Chen of New
York City's Chinatown, on October 3, 2011, while serving his country as
a member of the United States Army in Kandahar, Afghanistan; and
WHEREAS, The banner of freedom will always wave over our beloved New
York and all of America, the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave;
and
WHEREAS, Residents of this great State must never forget the courage
with which these men and women served their country, and must recognize
that no greater debt is owed than that owed to those who gave their
lives for their beloved Nation and to those who continue to be missing
in action; and
WHEREAS, The freedoms and security we cherish as Americans come at a
very high price for those serving in the military in times of conflict;
it is fitting and proper that we who are the beneficiaries of those who
risk their lives, leaving their families behind, express our appreci-
ation and eternal gratitude for their sacrifices and courageous acts;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
mourn the untimely death of Private Danny Chen of New York, New York,
and to pay tribute to his courageous actions as a member of the United
States Army; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to the family of Private Danny Chen.
