SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 771
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize Jacob Samuel Patiño, who has demonstrated an |
|
impressive interest in public service and state government |
|
through his advocacy on behalf of the victims of school |
|
shootings; and |
|
WHEREAS, Jacob Patiño is a sixth-grade student in the |
|
McAllen Independent School District; he is greatly concerned |
|
about the ongoing loss of life taking place in school shootings |
|
and the lost potential of the children who would never grow up to |
|
achieve their dreams; and |
|
WHEREAS, Jacob decided that he would take the initiative to |
|
try to honor the children who were the victims of these senseless |
|
shootings and the teachers who gave their lives defending |
|
them; and |
|
WHEREAS, He wrote a moving letter to one of his elected |
|
representatives, Senator Juan Hinojosa, and asked him to provide |
|
guidance on ways to raise awareness of this important issue; as a |
|
result of Jacob's letter, Senate Bill 133 was filed, legislation |
|
that would designate May 18 each year as School Shooting Victims |
|
Remembrance Day; and |
|
WHEREAS, Jacob has shown himself to be a thoughtful young |
|
man and an exemplary advocate for those no longer able to speak |
|
for themselves, and it is truly fitting that he receive special |
|
recognition; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th |
|
Legislature, hereby commend Jacob Samuel Patiño on his |
|
commitment to serving others and extend to him best wishes for |
|
continued success in all his endeavors; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
him as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
|

Hinojosa |
