H.R. No. 1120 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Texans everywhere are indebted to the men and women | ||
of the law enforcement profession, for by their selfless devotion | ||
to the public welfare, they enable us to enjoy the benefits of a | ||
peaceful and orderly society; and | ||
WHEREAS, Too seldom recognized, and sometimes taken for | ||
granted by the public they so faithfully serve, these gallant | ||
individuals daily risk their lives in order to ensure domestic | ||
tranquility and to protect the lives and property of others; and | ||
WHEREAS, Detective Benjamin E. Marconi of the San Antonio | ||
Police Department exemplified in his personal and professional | ||
conduct the singular virtues of courage, integrity, and steadfast | ||
resolve, and throughout his 20 years, 10 months on the force, his | ||
meritorious service embodied the highest ideals of his vocation; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Killed in the line of duty on November 20, 2016, | ||
Detective Marconi will long be missed by his family, his fellow | ||
peace officers, and the entire community; and | ||
WHEREAS, Though his life ended far too soon, Detective | ||
Marconi left behind a record of public service that is deserving of | ||
his fellow citizens' lasting respect and gratitude; now, therefore, | ||
be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Detective Benjamin | ||
E. Marconi and extend deepest sympathy to his relatives, friends, | ||
and fellow officers; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of | ||
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Detective | ||
Benjamin E. Marconi. | ||
