|
on September 11, 2018; and |
|
WHEREAS, During the event, bricks commemorating the |
|
contributions of Mr. Lee and three other former Gainesville first |
|
responders were officially placed in the monument; in addition to |
|

|
those who lost their lives during the 9/11 terrorist attacks; and |

|
serve in the department's reserve forces until June 2018; and |
|
WHEREAS, Shane Lee's courage, commitment, and |
|
professionalism greatly benefited the people of Gainesville, and he |
|
may take justifiable pride in his receipt of this heartfelt honor |
|
from his community; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
