H.R. No. 2222

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Sergeant Earl "Dub" Gillum of the Texas Highway
	Patrol demonstrated remarkable skill and composure on October 5,
	2016, when he saved the life of a man suffering a heart attack; and
	WHEREAS, On that day, Sergeant Gillum observed a stranded
	motorist with a flat tire on the shoulder of U.S. Highway 377; after
	approaching him to offer assistance, the officer noticed that the
	man appeared ill and offered to change his tire; moments later, the
	man cried out in pain before falling unconscious; and
	WHEREAS, Sergeant Gillum immediately called for emergency
	medical services and started first aid on the motorist, whom he
	later learned was experiencing diastolic heart failure; the officer
	eased him into a position on the ground where he could breathe and
	then worked to clear his airway to prevent him from asphyxiating;
	thanks to Sergeant Gillum's swift and effective response, the man
	survived and was subsequently rushed to a nearby hospital for
	treatment; Sergeant Gillum was later presented with a DPS
	Lifesaving Award for his actions; and
	WHEREAS, A veteran peace officer, Dub Gillum has dedicated
	more than 25 years to the Texas Highway Patrol; in addition to his
	work as a patrolman, he serves his department as the public
	information and safety education officer, a position that involves
	interacting with the media, relaying important information to other
	state agencies, and educating area residents, including children,
	about safety matters; and
	WHEREAS, By expertly applying his training in a dire
	situation, Sergeant Dub Gillum helped to avert a tragedy, and his
	actions have distinguished him as a truly outstanding member of the
	law enforcement profession; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby commend Sergeant Dub Gillum for rendering
	lifesaving aid to a fellow Texan and extend to him sincere best
	wishes for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Sergeant Gillum as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
