R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The United Veterans Burial Association of Alice has 
distinguished itself as a vital asset to the community by providing 
military honors at the funerals of the nation's veterans; and
	WHEREAS, Having begun operation in 1995, the association has 
provided its services at more than 500 funerals, thereby helping to 
ensure that the men and women who so valiantly served their country 
are laid to rest with the dignity that they deserve; and
	WHEREAS, This group of volunteers charges no fees to the 
families it serves, yet spares no effort in providing a solemn and 
moving tribute that often includes a 21-gun salute, the playing of 
the "Taps" bugle call, and the presentation of an American flag to 
the family of the deceased; and
	WHEREAS, Commander Servando Lopez and the other members of 
the United Veterans Burial Association, all of whom have served in 
uniform, have proven themselves patriotic and caring Americans who 
have done their utmost to honor the sacrifices made by the members 
of the United States Armed Forces; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the United 
Veterans Burial Association of Alice and extend sincere 
appreciation to its members for their community service; and, be it 
further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be prepared for the 
organization as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of 
Representatives.
