WHEREAS, U.S. Army veteran Lorissa Gonzales of Clint served |
|
|
her country with great honor and distinction as a member of the |
|
|
armed forces, and the occasion of Memorial Day on May 26, 2025, |
|
|
provides a fitting opportunity to posthumously honor her for her |
|
|
dedicated military career; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, On Memorial Day each May, citizens across our state |
|
|
and nation come together for a day of solemn remembrance of those |
|
|
servicemen and servicewomen who so valiantly served their country |
|
|
and who gave their lives in the line of duty; each of these |
|
|
individuals made the noble decision to place country before self, |
|
|
and their sacrifice echoes through generations; their absence |
|
|
leaves a void that can never be fully filled, but their legacy is |
|
|
etched forever into the soul of our nation; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ms. Gonzales proudly served with the U.S. Army as a |
|
|
hospital administrative officer during the Vietnam War era; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Demonstrating the utmost dedication and bravery |
|
|
during her years in uniform, Lorissa Gonzales upheld the highest |
|
|
ideals of the United States armed forces, and her fellow citizens |
|
|
owe her a lasting debt of gratitude; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life and service of U.S. Army |
|
|
veteran Lorissa Gonzales; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of |
|
|
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Lorissa |
|
|
Gonzales. |
