WHEREAS, Jena Segura of Weslaco, whose cousins are deploying to Iraq, is helping to lift the spirits of our nation's servicemen and servicewomen in Iraq and Afghanistan through her involvement in "Project for the Troops"; and WHEREAS, Organized by Ms. Segura and Weslaco High School classmate Jannice Vela, "Project for the Troops" is a Valley-wide effort that began as a pen-pal program, but has evolved into a more extensive endeavor to send care packages to soldiers overseas; and WHEREAS, Ms. Segura is bringing joy and a valuable reminder of home to those serving our nation by providing them with everyday comforts that we take for granted, and she truly deserves recognition for her initiative and selflessness in behalf of others; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas Legislature hereby commend Jena Segura for establishing "Project for the Troops" to provide comfort and support for our country's armed forces and extend to her best wishes for success in this noteworthy enterprise; and, be it further RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for Ms. Segura as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
