WHEREAS, Paramedic Brandon Daugherty of the Wise County |
|
|
Office of Emergency Management has been named the recipient of a |

|
assistance to two Fort Worth residents involved in a vehicle |
|
|
accident; and |

|
WHEREAS, On February 2, 2022, Brandon Daugherty responded to |
|

the frigid river and extracted the man from the vehicle; |

hospital and is expected to fully recover; and |

|
to the aid of individuals in need, and through his swift and |
|
|
decisive action in this critical situation, Brandon Daugherty |
|
|
upheld the highest standards of his profession and helped to save |
|
|
the life of a fellow citizen; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature |
|
|
hereby congratulate Brandon Daugherty of the Wise County Office of |
|
|
Emergency Management on his receipt of a Life Saving Medal and |
|
|
extend to him sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further |

|
|
prepared for Mr. Daugherty as an expression of high regard by the |
|
