Senator Jack M. Martins recently joined with the Mineola Junior Fire Department in honoring its Junior Firefighter of the Year, Neal Ressa Jr.
Ressa Jr. is a 15-year-old sophomore at Mineola High School who aspires to continue serving the community as a Mineola firefighter and our country as a US Army Officer. He hopes to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point following his high school graduation.
“It’s wonderful to see someone so eager to serve others at such a young age,” Martins said. “Neal has demonstrated that he has the passion and drive to help his neighbors and make a difference in the community. Congratulations to Neal on this well deserved honor.”
