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. |
