 1-2                         SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1135
 1-3           WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
 1-4     recognize the efforts of Daniel B. Kulvicki, whose campaign
 1-5     to honor Texas history with his State of Texas Anniversary
 1-6     Remembrance Day (S.T.A.R.) project has met with great success;
 1-7     and
 1-8           WHEREAS, Daniel worked hard to win state recognition for
 1-9     his annual State of Texas Anniversary Remembrance Day; his efforts
1-10     culminated in the public acknowledgment of February 19 as the day
1-11     Texas ceased being an independent nation and joined the union; the
1-12     date also marks the occasion in 1846 when James Pinckney Henderson
1-13     became the newly admitted state's first governor; and
1-14           WHEREAS, The senior from Dickinson High School enlisted
1-15     the support of Galveston County Judge James D. Yarbrough
1-16     and City of Dickinson Mayor John W. Mitchiner; the two
1-17     gentlemen aided Daniel in his quest to have state lawmakers
1-18     create S.T.A.R. Day; and
1-19           WHEREAS, Two private-sector entities, Citizen's State Bank
1-20     and Texas First Banks of Galveston County, also lent their
1-21     patronage to Mr. Kulvicki's cause; with their support, Daniel
1-22     was able to publish two editions of a community newspaper covering
 2-1     State of Texas Anniversary Remembrance Day; additionally, he
 2-2     published copies of historical documents related to the
 2-3     inauguration of Governor Henderson; and
 2-4           WHEREAS, Mr. Kulvicki's goal was realized when
 2-5     Governor George W. Bush officially declared S.T.A.R. Day in
 2-6     Texas each year from 1996 to 1999; and
 2-7           WHEREAS, Dennis M. and Fostelene T. Kulvicki, his parents,
 2-8     have been firm supporters of their son's endeavors; their love
 2-9     and guidance have helped this remarkable young man achieve his
2-10     impressive success; and
2-11           WHEREAS, The efforts of Daniel Kulvicki to educate the
2-12     public about the history of Texas are truly laudable; the success
2-13     of State of Texas Anniversary Remembrance Day evidences this fine
2-14     young man's maturity, intelligence, and resourcefulness; now,
2-15     therefore, be it
2-16           RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
2-17     76th Legislature, hereby commend the outstanding accomplishments
2-18     of Daniel B. Kulvicki and wish this fine young citizen continued
2-19     success in the years to come; and, be it further
2-20           RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
2-21     Mr. Kulvicki as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
2-22                                                                 Jackson
