SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 793
|
|
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 Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
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 a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
the Hardin County Angels of Care as an expression of high regard |
|
from the Texas Senate. |
