SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 90
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize Brigadier General Walter Schellhase, United States |
|
Army, Retired, for his exemplary work on behalf of the nearly |
|
20,000 veterans who live in the Texas Hill Country; and |
|
WHEREAS, For the better part of two decades, General |
|
Schellhase has served on the board of directors of the Hill |
|
Country Veterans Council, and he has played a vital role in the |
|
council's continuing efforts to maintain the critical services |
|
offered by the Kerrville facility of the United States Department |
|
of Veterans Affairs; and |
|
WHEREAS, He has been a forceful advocate before state |
|
legislators, members of Congress, and federal officials to |
|
preserve these benefits for the men and women whose courage and |
|
sacrifice have upheld our nation's security and democratic |
|
ideals; and |
|
WHEREAS, General Schellhase has personally interceded to |
|
help ensure that individual veterans received the care to which |
|
they were entitled; he has also spoken out in support of |
|
physicians and other staff members to prevent their workloads |
|
from increasing to the point that patient care would suffer; and |
|
WHEREAS, The Hill Country Veterans Council and veterans |
|
everywhere have benefited greatly from the hard work and |
|
commitment of this dedicated patriot, and he is truly deserving |
|
of recognition for the profound difference he has made in the |
|
lives of the men and women who have served in the country's armed |
|
forces; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd |
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend Brigadier |
|
General Walter Schellhase, United States Army, Retired, on his |
|
exceptional contributions to the care of our nation's veterans |
|
and extend to him best wishes for continued success in all his |
|
endeavors; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
him as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
