Commending United States Army Air Corps 2nd Lieutenant Joseph L. Burke posthumously upon the occasion of his designation as a recipient of the Liberty Medal

This bill is a Senate resolution that formally honors 2nd Lieutenant Joseph L. Burke, a World War II pilot, by recognizing him as a recipient of the New York State Senate Liberty Medal. The legislation acknowledges Burke's service, including his time as a prisoner of war and the recent identification of his remains in 2025, and directs that a copy of the resolution be sent to his family. As a commemorative measure, the bill does not create new laws or alter existing policies but serves to publicly express gratitude for his sacrifice.
