H.R. No. 929

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The American Warrior Association has made a profound
	impact in the lives of military personnel, veterans, first
	responders, and their families through its efforts to address the
	often-overlooked wounds of service; and
	WHEREAS, The Texas-based organization has launched a
	historic public-private partnership called "R3: Respond. Restore.
	Resolve." that is aimed at alleviating the psychological,
	emotional, and spiritual harm associated with moral injury, which
	has been defined as the emotional distress experienced by first
	responders, military service members, and veterans when actions
	conflict with their moral beliefs; the R3 Program offers training,
	access to non-clinical preventative care resources, and culturally
	competent counseling, all with the goal of eliminating potential
	stigma and increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of
	departmental support services; and
	WHEREAS, Through this endeavor, AWA is helping to improve
	overall performance and morale among our state's first responder
	and veteran workforce; these efforts further benefit our
	communities by enhancing first responders' mental resilience and
	ability to de-escalate situations and by strengthening their
	relations with the citizens they serve; and
	WHEREAS, The vital work being undertaken by AWA takes on
	added significance in connection with Moral Injury Awareness Day on
	May 14, 2025, an observance that is shedding light on the internal
	burdens that may arise when one's service experiences conflict with
	personal values or professional expectations; and
	WHEREAS, Through the R3 Program, the American Warrior
	Association is helping to tackle an issue that exacts a heavy toll
	on veterans and first responders while further promoting a culture
	of strength, readiness, and mutual support among the heroes in our
	communities who need a helping hand; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
	Legislature hereby honor the American Warrior Association for its
	contributions to military personnel, veterans, first responders,
	and their families and extend to all those affiliated with the
	organization sincere best wishes for continued success with their
	important work; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for AWA as an expression of high regard by the Texas House
	of Representatives.
