WHEREAS, Those Texans who demonstrate great courage in
emergency situations are truly deserving of our admiration and
gratitude, and Alfredo Aguirre, Alejandro Gutierrez, Albert
Rosales, and Saul Sanchez-Lira of El Paso are four such
individuals; and
WHEREAS, On January 30, 2004, these heroes entered a burning
neighbor's home at great personal risk to evacuate the people still
inside and attempted to contain the fire using their own water
hoses; and
WHEREAS, Even after fire-fighting professionals arrived on
the scene, the four continued to assist in the rescue attempt,
despite their lack of training and professional equipment; and
WHEREAS, Their selfless acts of heroism gave several people a
chance to survive this terrible tragedy, and in acting as they did,
these valiant men distinguished themselves as remarkable members of
their community and earned recognition from the El Paso Area
Chapter of the American Red Cross; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature hereby honor Alfredo Aguirre, Alejandro Gutierrez,
Albert Rosales, and Saul Sanchez-Lira of El Paso for their heroism
and extend to them sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for each of these brave individuals as an expression of
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
