HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
|
|
WHEREAS, The Legislature of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize Roy Velez, who was recently named the 2006 Texan of the |
|
Year by the Dallas Morning News; and |
|
WHEREAS, Roy Velez lost two sons to war, one in Iraq and one |
|
in Afghanistan, yet he has chosen to embrace his faith as an |
|
antidote to the loss and sorrow; his courage and compassion for |
|
others, after tragically losing both of his sons, has comforted and |
|
inspired people around the world; and |
|
WHEREAS, A resident of Lubbock, Mr. Velez frequently meets |
|
people who seek to comfort him for his losses, but he reassures them |
|
instead, easing their pain and grief with his trusting faith and his |
|
quiet strength; and |
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Velez has borne the burden of his losses with |
|
grace and dignity; he has been an inspiration to many people, |
|
especially those who have lost a child, and his dauntless spirit and |
|
his unflagging faith lend courage to those who hear his story; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the 80th Legislature of the State of Texas |
|
hereby congratulate Roy Velez on being named 2006 Texan of the Year |
|
by the Dallas Morning News and extend to him best wishes for the |
|
future; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be prepared for him |
|
as an expression of esteem from the Texas Legislature. |
