Flags on County government buildings are to be flown at half-staff effective December 30, 2014 through January 30, 2015 in honor of Ex-Chief Joseph J. Sanford, Jr. and in honor of his service to the people of Nassau County.“On December 23, 2014, Nassau County lost a member of its community, who was both a County employee and a most dedicated volunteer firefighter, Ex-Chief Joseph J. Sanford, Jr. Joseph died in the line of duty, responding to a house fire in Woodmere, and giving his own life to save the lives of others.
In honor and remembrance of his selfless service to Nassau County’s residents, I have ordered that all County buildings fly flags at half-staff until January 30, 2015.
