SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 714

WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to recognize Corporal Travis Flowers, Pablo Escobedo, Gregory Lomason, and Junior Defreitas for their lifesaving actions; and

WHEREAS, These four gentlemen were exercising at a fitness club in Highland Village when a man collapsed during a workout; they went to his aid and found he was unconscious and had no pulse, and they immediately began administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation; and

WHEREAS, They then applied an automatic external defibrillator, which analyzed his condition and provided the necessary electrical shock to reestablish an effective cardiac rhythm; cardiopulmonary resuscitation was continued until the man began to breathe on his own and had a strong pulse; and

WHEREAS, Through quick thinking and decisive action, Corporal Flowers, Mr. Escobedo, Mr. Lomason, and Mr. Defreitas saved the life of their fellow citizen, and it is truly fitting that they receive special recognition; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th Legislature, hereby commend Corporal Travis Flowers, Pablo Escobedo, Gregory Lomason, and Junior Defreitas for their heroic actions; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for them as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
