natural disasters, they serve this nation with great courage, |

dedication, and devotion to duty; and |

|
WHEREAS, Americans owe a profound debt of gratitude to |
|
|
Trooper Hester and to all of the country's military personnel, for |
|

they render service and sacrifice that is truly beyond measure; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Trooper Hester embodies the highest ideals of the |

U.S. armed forces, and his steadfast service has earned him the |

|
sincere appreciation of his fellow Texans; now, therefore, be it |

|
|

|
|
to his country and extend to him sincere best wishes for the future; |
