WHEREAS, Captain Robert Nolan of Georgetown returned to his |
|
|
family on January 4, 2009, after an extended deployment spanning |
|
|
462 days of faithful service in behalf of this nation; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Deployed in September 2007, Captain Nolan spent two |
|
|
consecutive holiday seasons during his tour of duty away from his |
|
|
loved ones, and his family welcomed him home to a house that was |
|
|
still decorated for Christmas; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This courageous Texan was enthusiastically welcomed |
|
|
at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport by his two children, Max |
|
|
and Costa, and by his wife, Amy, who had been chronicling her |
|
|
experiences for a local newspaper over the course of her husband's |
|
|
absence; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Americans owe a profound debt of gratitude to all of |
|
|
the nation's military personnel, for they are called on to bear |
|
|
great burdens, and they render service to their country that is |
|
|
truly beyond measure; the efforts and sacrifice of these brave men |
|
|
and women are most deserving of their fellow citizens' deepest |
|
|
respect and gratitude; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through his unfaltering devotion to duty, honor, and |
|
|
this country, Robert Nolan embodies the highest ideals of the U.S. |
|
|
Armed Forces, and it is indeed a pleasure to join in welcoming him |
|
|
home; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby honor Captain Robert Nolan for his steadfast |
|
|
service in this nation's behalf and extend to him sincere best |
|
|
wishes for continued success and happiness; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Captain Nolan as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
