ACTING PRESIDENT BOYLE:The Secretary will read.
THE SECRETARY:Legislative Resolution Number 4468, by Senator Avella, memorializing Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim May 2014 as Korean American Family Month in the State of New York.
"WHEREAS, When the sons and daughters of other nations move to the United States, the traditions they carry with them greatly enhance and strengthen the American population; and
WHEREAS, In December of 1902, 56 men, 21 women and 25 children left Korea and traveled across the Pacific Ocean on the S.S. Gaelic and landed in Honolulu, Hawaii, on January 13, 1903; and
"WHEREAS, Since their arrival, Korean Americans have taken root and thrived in the United States through strong family ties, community support, and hard work; and
"WHEREAS, Family values and the importance of education are at the core of Korean culture; specifically, the concept of 'filial piety,' or love and respect for one's parents and ancestors, is a vital family virtue honored by Koreans for centuries; and
"WHEREAS, May is considered 'Family Month' in Korean culture, with Children's Day falling on May 5th, Parents' Day on May 8th, and Teachers' Day on May 15th; and
"WHEREAS, Children's Day was founded in 1923, by Mr. Jeong-Hwan Bang, a children's book author and children's rights activist, to promote love and respect for youth; and
"WHEREAS, The Proclamation of Children's Day, which was presented by Mr. Bang on May 1, 1923, contains eight requests by children to adults, such as treating children with respect and providing a caring environment for children to learn and develop; and
"WHEREAS, Acknowledging that children are the future of the nation, the day became a public holiday in Korea in 1975, allowing parents and children to spend the day together to strengthen the ties of the family; and
"WHEREAS, Since 1973, Koreans have celebrated Parents' Day on May 8th by presenting their parents with a red carnation and gifts; in addition, various ceremonies are held in the Korean-American community to recognize sons and daughters who have rendered exemplary care and services to parents and elderly; and
"WHEREAS, May 15th is designated as Teacher's Day; while teachers are not blood relatives, they have long occupied a special place of honor and dignity in Korean culture; and
"WHEREAS, Korea has a long tradition of sincere respect and admiration for teachers, and students are taught to respect their teachers from the very first time they enter a school; and
"WHEREAS, Respect for teachers does not only take place in schools but also in every household; it goes along with Korean culture where the elderly are greatly respected for their lifelong wisdom and hard work on behalf of Korean society; and
"WHEREAS, The Korean-American community in New York State continues to honor family values through various events and ceremonies held annually during the month of May; and
"WHEREAS, The State of New York has always been richer, culturally and socially, as a result of many contributions of its vibrant Korean-American community; New York is also fortunate to have in its midst a substantial number of citizens who trace their origins to Korea; now, therefore, be it
"RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim May 2014 as Korean American Family Month in the State of New York; and be it further
"RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution, suitably engrossed, be transmitted to the Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor of the State of New York; the Korean American Association of Greater New York; the Korean American Association of Queens; Korean American Filial Piety, Inc.; and the Korean American Parents Association of Greater New York."
ACTING PRESIDENT BOYLE:Senator Avella.
SENATOR AVELLA:Thank you, Mr. President.
And thank you for reading the previously adopted resolution, which called upon Governor Cuomo to declare May as Korean American Family Month in the State of New York.
I'm happy to report that last week Governor Cuomo did exactly that, and it really is a tribute to the Korean-American community in the state.
We had a ceremony back in the City of New York. We didn't have all the groups come up, but I did want to mention for the record all the groups that participated in the ceremony and thanking the Governor for this wonderful tribute to the Korean-American community.
For the record, those organizations that were there: Korean American Association of Greater New York, Korean American Association of Queens, Korean American Parents Association of New York, Korean Community Services of Metropolitan New York, Korean American Family Service Center, Korean American Political Advancement, Korean American Filial Piety, Korean American Seafood Association of Greater New York, Korean American Senior Citizens Society of New York, ROK Marine Corps Veterans of Eastern USA, and finally the Korean Veterans Association of Eastern USA.
And I thank this body for approving the resolution, which the Governor then signed into law proclaiming May as Korean American Family Month. I hope we can do this every year. But we are the first state in the country to do such an honor to the Korean-American community.
Thank you, Mr. President.
ACTING PRESIDENT BOYLE:Thank you, Senator.
As was mentioned, this was previously adopted on April 29th.

THE SECRETARY:Legislative Resolution Number 4807, by Senator Kennedy, mourning the death of Edward F. Wagner, distinguished citizen and devoted member of his community.
"WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to pay tribute to citizens of the State of New York whose lifework and civic endeavor served to enhance the quality of life in their communities and the great State of New York; and

"WHEREAS, Edward F. Wagner served courageously as a lance corporal, experiencing heavy fighting during the Allied landings on Saipan and Tinian in the Mariana Island Campaign; his many military decorations include a Purple Heart for injuries sustained during battle; and
"WHEREAS, After the war, Edward F. Wagner returned home, married and started a wonderful family with his late wife, the former Adele Jendrasek; he also began a career with the Westinghouse Corporation that would last 49 years; and
"WHEREAS, This remarkable Marine Corps veteran distinguished himself in his profession and by his sincere dedication and substantial contributions to patriotic causes in his community; and

"WHEREAS, Edward F. Wagner's commitment to excellence, and his spirit of humanity, carried over into all fields of enterprise, including charitable and civic endeavors; and
"WHEREAS, Known for his dedication to veterans' causes, he was proud to visit the injured at the VA Hospital and sell poppies to raise funds for war veterans; on Veteran's Day he would visit local elementary schools to give educational talks to children; and
"WHEREAS, A man of faith, Edward F. Wagner was a lifelong member of St. Barnabas Catholic Church, where he served as an usher, and the Knights of Columbus; and
"WHEREAS, Predeceased by his first wife, Adele; two brothers, Harry and Frank; and his sister, Irene; Edward F. Wagner is survived by his wife Mary Margaret; two brothers, James and John; his daughter, Patricia (John), son, Robert (Wendy); his four stepchildren, Barbara (Dan), Lisa (Jonathan), Ober, and Eric (Michelle), two grandchildren, Veronika and Paulina; and ten step-grandchildren: Jordan, Amanda, Gabrielle, Halee, Rebekah, Anastasia, Emma, Oliver, Jasmine and Patrick; as well as several nieces and cousins; and
"WHEREAS, Armed with a humanistic spirit, imbued with a sense of compassion, and remembered by a loving family, Edward F. Wagner leaves behind a legacy which will long endure the passage of time and will remain as a comforting memory to all he served and befriended; now, therefore, be it
"RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to mourn the death of Edward F. Wagner; and be it further
"RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution, suitably engrossed, be transmitted to the family of Edward F. Wagner."
ACTING PRESIDENT BOYLE:Senator Kennedy.
SENATOR KENNEDY:Thank you, Mr. President.
I rise today to honor the life of Edward Frank Wagner, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, decorated serviceman and friend, who passed away on February 8th of this year at the age of 90 years old.
To know Ed was to love Ed. He was a dear friend. We extend our condolences to his family and friends as they mourn this tremendous loss. And we fondly remember the contributions that he made to our community in Western New York, in New York State, and to our nation throughout his life.
We are joined here today by many members of Ed's extended family -- his extensive family. As we all heard in the reading of this resolution, the Wagner family is very large. And they are wonderful people and have carried on his sense of nobility and his spirit in our community in Western New York.
Ed was a strong, courageous and incredibly humble individual who made his family life first and took great pride in the Western New York community. I met Ed through his work through the Patriotic Commission in Cheektowaga. And like anyone who met Ed, we not only became good colleagues, but we became good friends.
And in putting this resolution together, we were doing some digging on history of Ed Wagner and what he really meant to our community in Western New York, to our state and to our nation.
And you know, Ed wasn't an individual who liked to brag about himself, so it gives me great pride to be able to honor his life and his memory, through speaking about some of the sacrifices that he made for our country and our community, on the floor of the Senate today.
In 1923, he was born, the oldest of five children in his family. And he always put his family, his brothers and his sisters, first. In the height of the Great Depression, he joined the Civilian Conservation Corps. And at only 15 years old, Ed sent his paycheck home each week in order to support his family.
And when the Second World War broke out, Ed volunteered to join the United States Marine Corps to serve the country. And as the war waged on in the Pacific, he fought valiantly on behalf of our great country, earning a Purple Heart in service to our country.
After the war ended, he came home, he met his wife and married his wife Adele, started a family in Cheektowaga. And for nearly five decades, he worked and labored to raise his family, working at Westinghouse Corporation, demonstrating the resilient blue-collar spirit that makes Western New York famous.
His family and friends are here with us today. His wife Peggy, Margaret Mary Wagner, who's here with Bob, Ed's son; Lisa, Barb, and Eric, his stepchildren; his daughter Patty.
He's remembered also by his two grandchildren and 10 step-grandchildren, including Jordan, who is here with us today, studying nursing at D'Youville College, the greatest college on earth -- it happens to be my alma mater. She's going to be a nurse in the near future, she's going into her junior year.
Ed's two brothers, James and John, his sister Margaret, and his friends John and Ginny Fasser are also here with us today.
Known for his hard work, his great sense of humor, and his generosity, Ed Wagner was a family man who carried about his community and did all he could to support his family, his neighbors and our community. He'll be deeply missed. And it's with his tremendous spirit that we honor his memory on the floor of the Senate today.
Thank you for coming here to celebrate his life in service to our community, our state, and our nation.
Thank you, Mr. President.
ACTING PRESIDENT BOYLE:Thank you, Senator.
The resolution was previously adopted on May 6th.
And I'd like to join with the Senate in thanking the Wagner family for coming here, mourning the loss of a great man and celebrating his life. Thank you for joining us.
Senator Libous.
SENATOR LIBOUS:Thank you, Mr. President.
