This Senate resolution (J 24) formally commends Radioman 3rd Class Frank William Degenhardt posthumously for receiving New York State's Liberty Medal - the Senate's highest individual honor.

The resolution serves only as a ceremonial tribute, with no policy or funding changes, and directs a copy to his family. It was adopted by the New York State Senate in January 2025.
