SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 9

WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to recognize Mr. and Mrs. Antonio Felder for their selfless actions and assistance in helping to save the life of Sam Mills after a car accident in Fort Bend County; and

WHEREAS, Antonio and Tamera Felder are both proud veterans of the United States Marine Corps; they are residents of Katy, Texas, and on the night of December 26, 2020, while driving to an area store, they spotted an overturned vehicle along the roadside; they immediately stopped their car and jumped out to investigate the accident; and

WHEREAS, As they approached the scene, Mr. and Mrs. Felder found the crashed vehicle empty, and they quickly began searching the field for accident victims; a second couple soon approached and offered assistance, and minutes later, a young man who was fighting for his life was found lying on the ground; and

WHEREAS, Antonio called emergency services, and both couples remained with the victim to encourage him to keep breathing and to pray for his safety until the air transport arrived to take him to the hospital; and

WHEREAS, These conscientious Texans responded quickly and courageously to assist a stranger who was in dire need; they represent the highest ideals of good citizenry, and they are indeed deserving of recognition for the selfless actions they took in helping to save the life of Sam Mills; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th Legislature, hereby recognize Mr. and Mrs. Antonio Felder as treasured citizens of the Lone Star State and extend to them best wishes for the future; and, be it further

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