WHEREAS, The Hardin County Angels of Care, a nonprofit |
|
|
organization in Lumberton, will host its second annual Back the |
|
|
Badge luncheon at the Lumberton Dome on July 19, 2017; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Formed in 2009 by executive director Faye Alston and |
|
|
a group of like-minded individuals, the Hardin County Angels of |
|
|
Care is committed to helping area children who have medical needs by |
|
|
offsetting expenses, including medical equipment, surgeries, and |
|
|
travel and hotel costs associated with their treatment; in 2016, |
|
|
the organization added to its mission of service by holding its |
|
|
first free luncheon for members of law enforcement; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Back the Badge event provides the community with |
|
|
a way to give thanks to and show support for police officers, fire |
|
|
personnel, emergency medical responders, dispatchers, district and |
|
|
county attorneys, game wardens, and others who dedicate their |
|
|
careers to public service and safety; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, By promoting peace, keeping offenders off the |
|
|
streets, or putting themselves in harm's way to save lives, these |
|
|
dedicated individuals demonstrate the meaning of heroism, and they |
|
|
are indeed deserving of their fellow citizens' profound respect and |
|
|
gratitude; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize July 19, 2017, as Back the Badge Day in |
|
|
Hardin County and honor the first responders and public service |
|
|
personnel of Hardin County for their vital work; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the Hardin County Angels of Care as an expression of |
|
|
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
