H.R. No. 193
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The knowledge that their homes and families are
being lovingly cared for in their absence offers soldiers
immeasurable comfort and solace, and for more than a year, while
Staff Sergeant Roger Vega was serving his country as part of the 2nd
Battalion, 112th Armor Regiment, 56th Brigade Combat Team of the
36th Infantry Division in Iraq, his wife, Lisa Vega, was sustaining
their North Texas household; and
WHEREAS, With remarkable perseverance and courage, this
esteemed Texan successfully shouldered responsibilities alone that
had once been shared; indeed, without the assistance of her spouse,
the burden of managing the home was sometimes great and Mrs. Vega
must have often felt the painful ache of separation particularly
familiar to wives of servicemen; and
WHEREAS, Difficult times are frequently eased by crucial
connections with others, and Mrs. Vega was part of a caring and
helpful community of women whose husbands were deployed with one
another; reaching out to each other in times of need, the women
provided an important source of empathy and encouragement; never
losing sight of what bound them together, they organized
fund-raising efforts to purchase and send supplies to their men in
Iraq; and
WHEREAS, Throughout history women have been an integral part
of wartime endeavors, whether as soldiers themselves, nurses,
factory workers, or loved ones offering their spouses a vital link
home, and in her steadfast attention to domestic duties while her
husband was stationed in Iraq, Lisa Vega has earned a place in this
most respected legacy; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby honor Lisa Vega for her
dedicated and resolute support of the household during the
deployment of her husband, Staff Sergeant Roger Vega, in Iraq and
extend to both of them sincere best wishes for a prosperous and
happy future together; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mrs. Vega and her husband as an expression of high
regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
