R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, William An, who has demonstrated extraordinary
  dedication and courage as a firefighter/paramedic with the Dallas
  Fire-Rescue Department, was critically injured in the line of duty
  on May 1, 2017; and
         WHEREAS, On that day, Officer An was responding to a call for
  aid at a chaotic scene where a man had shot and killed his roommate
  before turning his gun on a neighbor; the man then opened fire on
  arriving paramedics, and while attempting to assist one of the
  victims, Officer An was struck and gravely wounded; thanks to the
  heroic efforts of police who ventured into the line of fire to pull
  Officer An to safety, he survived this harrowing incident and is
  making gains on his road to recovery; and
         WHEREAS, Assigned to Station 19, Officer An has been with
  Dallas Fire-Rescue for 10 years, the past 7 with the department's
  Urban Search and Rescue Team; he draws strength from the love and
  encouragement of his wife of six years, Jayne; they are the proud
  parents of a son, Walter, and are expecting their second child later
  this year; and
         WHEREAS, Our communities are fortunate to have individuals
  like William An, whose selfless commitment to serve and protect is
  an inspiration to all who know him, and he remains in the thoughts
  and prayers of his fellow Texans; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
  Legislature hereby honor William An for his outstanding devotion to
  duty as a member of the Dallas Fire-Rescue Department and extend to
  him sincere best wishes for a swift and full recovery; and, be it
  further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Officer An as an expression of high regard by the Texas
  House of Representatives.
