SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 444
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize Larry Gene Pullin for his many achievements and for his |
|
visionary work on behalf of the veterans of Brown County; and |
|
WHEREAS, Larry Pullin served with distinction in the |
|
United States Army during the Vietnam War; he is a highly |
|
decorated veteran and a two-time Purple Heart recipient; and |
|
WHEREAS, After retiring as a staff sergeant in 1975, Larry |
|
earned a bachelor of science degree from Tarleton State |
|
University; he moved to Brownwood to open his own business, and |
|
he has since remained a resident of Brown County; and |
|
WHEREAS, In the years following his military retirement, |
|
Larry has been active in veterans' affairs, and he continues to |
|
serve as a tireless proponent of veterans' rights; recently, he |
|
has been advocating for the implementation of a Veterans |
|
Treatment Court in Brown County, an endeavor that would expand |
|
specialized services to veterans who often do not seek out the |
|
help they need when they return home from combat service; and |
|
WHEREAS, In response to the dedicated efforts of Larry |
|
Pullin and other community advocates working on behalf of |
|
veterans, the Brown County Commissioners Court is beginning the |
|
process of laying the groundwork for establishing a Veterans |
|
Treatment Court in Brown County; Mr. Pullin played an integral |
|
role in this outstanding development, and he is indeed deserving |
|
of recognition for his accomplishments; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
Legislature, hereby commend Larry Gene Pullin for his many |
|
contributions to his community and for his exceptional work on |
|
behalf of his fellow veterans and extend to him best wishes in all |
|
his future 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. |
