R E S O L U T I O N
|
|
|
WHEREAS, Sergeant Troy Galvan of San Antonio rescued a woman |
|
|
from a burning vehicle on February 13, 2006, and he was awarded the |
|
|
Soldier's Medal for his heroic actions; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A staff member at the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical |
|
|
Center at Fort Hood, Sergeant Galvan was heading east on U.S. |
|
|
Highway 190 when he witnessed a sport utility vehicle hit a concrete |
|
|
post and then burst into flames; stopping to help, he discovered the |
|
|
driver alive, and, with the assistance of two other passersby, he |
|
|
was able to pull her out through the back of the vehicle just |
|
|
seconds before it exploded; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Fate could hardly have placed a more qualified |
|
|
person than Sergeant Galvan at the scene of this life-threatening |
|
|
accident; not only trained in vehicle extraction, he served for a |
|
|
year as a combat medic in Iraq and, as it happened, the life he saved |
|
|
was that of a fellow soldier; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In the face of imminent danger, Troy Galvan |
|
|
sacrificed his own safety to come to the aid of another, and his |
|
|
courageous and selfless efforts successfully averted a potential |
|
|
tragedy; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend Sergeant Troy Galvan for his exemplary |
|
|
act of heroism and congratulate him on his receipt of the Soldier's |
|
|
Medal; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Sergeant Galvan as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
