||
WHEREAS, The Brotherhood for the Fallen is a national, | ||
not-for-profit organization of police officers who are dedicated to | ||
honoring the memories of their colleagues who have been killed in | ||
the line of duty; and | ||
WHEREAS, Founded in 2010, the Brotherhood for the Fallen | ||
consists of chapters in New York, Colorado, Massachusetts, South | ||
Carolina, and Texas, including Dallas and Fort Worth, and its | ||
members are committed to ensuring that peace officers are laid to | ||
rest with the highest degree of dignity and that their grieving | ||
families are provided with emotional and financial support; and | ||
WHEREAS, As a demonstration of respect and solidarity, these | ||
chapters send members in full dress uniform to be present at the | ||
funerals of fallen officers in cities around the country; to carry | ||
out its important mission, the organization raises funds through | ||
membership dues and benefit events, such as the 9/11 Heroes Gala, | ||
which was recently hosted by the Fort Worth chapter; and | ||
WHEREAS, Texans owe an immeasurable debt of gratitude to the | ||
members of the law enforcement profession who bear the burden of | ||
safeguarding our communities, and the Brotherhood for the Fallen is | ||
performing an invaluable service through its efforts to commemorate | ||
those heroic men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby honor the Brotherhood for | ||
the Fallen and extend to its members sincere appreciation for their | ||
vital contributions to the organization; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the Brotherhood for the Fallen as an expression of high | ||
regard by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
