A
RESOLUTION
Recognizing
and commending HeroBox.org and its founder Ryan Housley; and for other
purposes.
WHEREAS,
HeroBox.org was started as a simple effort by a family to support their own
hero, Specialist Evan Housley, during his deployment to Iraq in 2007;
and
WHEREAS,
the purpose of HeroBox.org is to provide customized care packages to the
guardians of this nation's freedom and liberty who are serving their country
abroad; and
WHEREAS,
HeroBox.org works with military families, soldiers, churches, civic clubs, and
other nonprofit groups to provide those who put their safety on the line comfort
and a little piece of home through a care package; and
WHEREAS,
due to the great efforts of Mr. Ryan Housley, HeroBox.org has distributed
thousands of HeroBoxes, ensuring that recipient soldiers feel the love and
support of their fellow citizens and reminding them their sacrifices are
appreciated and not forgotten; and
WHEREAS,
through HeroBox.org's website, soldiers can list specific items they would like
included in their care package and their loved ones can tailor their orders to
meet the specific requests of the soldier in their life or donate a HeroBox
anonymously; and
WHEREAS,
100 percent of all proceeds HeroBox receives are used towards supporting
America's heroes; and
WHEREAS,
it is abundantly fitting and proper that the outstanding efforts of HeroBox.org
be appropriately recognized.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body commend
HeroBox.org and its founder, Ryan Housley, for the innovative and special method
of conveying this country's appreciation to the men and women of the United
States military who stand ever ready to lay the ultimate sacrifice upon the
altar of freedom.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed
to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to Ryan Housley.
