Bill > J01472

This resolution commends Gabriella Scheer for receiving the Liberty Medal, the highest honor given by the New York State Senate to individuals who perform exceptional, heroic, or humanitarian acts. The resolution highlights Scheer's quick thinking and actions on April 28, 2025, when she found her boss, Frank, unconscious and turning purple due to lack of oxygen at their workplace, European Image. Without hesitation, Scheer called 911 and, guided by the dispatcher, performed CPR until first responders arrived. She continued to show care by closing the salon and volunteering to open it the next day, easing the burden on Frank and his wife. The resolution emphasizes Scheer's calm under pressure, her compassion, and her embodiment of the spirit of ordinary citizens who help others in need.
