This resolution commends John T. Golden, Sr. posthumously for receiving the Liberty Medal, the highest honor bestowed by the New York State Senate. The resolution honors Golden's distinguished military service during World War II, where he served in the United States Navy as a Fireman and Motor Mechanics Mate, participating in the D-Day Invasion and transport operations across England and China. After his military service, Golden worked for 20 years with the Nassau County Police Department as a detective in the Narcotics and Homicide Divisions, and was a member of several veterans' organizations. He was recognized for his multiple military medals, including the Good Conduct Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, European Campaign Medal, and World War II Victory Medal. The resolution highlights Golden's patriotism, service to his country, and commitment to his community, and formally acknowledges his contributions by pausing to recognize his achievements and directing that a copy of the resolution be transmitted to his family.
