SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 401
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize the members of the New York City Fire Department |
|
Bravest Football Club; and |
|
WHEREAS, The club is a member of the National Public Safety |
|
Football League, which is a union of public safety agency |
|
football teams from around the country; the teams promote a |
|
positive image to the public by raising funds for charity through |
|
spirited competition; the club is playing the Central Texas |
|
Wolfpack on March 31, 2007; and |
|
WHEREAS, On September 11, 2001, the Bravest Football Club |
|
lost 22 of its members--eight active players and staff and 14 |
|
members of its alumni association who were still active |
|
firefighters; the team has carried on admirably despite this loss |
|
and went on to defeat the highly regarded Los Angeles Police |
|
Department Centurions in the 2003 National Public Safety |
|
Football League Championship game 38-37; and |
|
WHEREAS, The members of the Bravest Football Club embody |
|
the finest values of firefighters everywhere, and they are truly |
|
deserving of legislative recognition; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, |
|
80th Legislature, hereby commend the members of the New York City |
|
Fire Department Bravest Football Club for their courage and |
|
perseverance and extend to them best wishes in all their |
|
endeavors; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
the club as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
