Bill > J01265

This resolution commends Andrew G. Stine posthumously for receiving the Liberty Medal, the highest honor bestowed by the New York State Senate, in recognition of his exceptional military service during World War II. Stine, who was born in Saratoga Springs in 1923, served in the U.S. Army as a Demolition Tech with the 1884th Engineer Aviation Battalion, participating in the critical Ryukyus Campaign and Battle of Okinawa, where he performed dangerous duties repairing airfields in hostile Pacific regions. He was awarded multiple military honors, including the Good Conduct Medal and Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, and later served with the Army Corps of Engineers as a surveyor. Beyond his military service, Stine was a dedicated family man who was married for 50 years, worked as a land surveyor for five decades, and had careers with the National Park Services and Vermont Highway Department. The resolution highlights his patriotism, honors his contributions to his country, and ensures his legacy is remembered by transmitting a copy of the resolution to his family, embodying the sentiment that veterans deserve recognition and respect for their service and sacrifice.
