| S.C.R. No. 18 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The Town of Trophy Club has demonstrated an | ||
| exceptional commitment to fostering patriotism among its | ||
| citizenry; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In 1985, the year of its incorporation, Trophy Club | ||
| raised the American flag at the intersection of State Highway 114 | ||
| and Trophy Club Drive; this location at the entrance to the town had | ||
| hosted Independence Day celebrations carried out by local families | ||
| since the early 1970s; today, the flag continues to fly at the site, | ||
| a proud symbol of the town residents' love of country; Old Glory is | ||
| also displayed daily at seven other civic spaces thanks to the | ||
| efforts of the Trophy Club Fire Department, and every Fourth of | ||
| July, the Stars & Stripes Committee places flags along every street | ||
| in town; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Trophy Club originated as a small, golf-centric | ||
| retreat that quickly became home to numerous Dallas-area executives | ||
| and retirees; over the years, the master-planned town has grown | ||
| into a lively residential community with more than 14,000 | ||
| residents; the population is deeply engaged in community-oriented | ||
| activities, including school functions, church services, and the | ||
| meetings of town advisory groups, clubs, and other organizations; | ||
| local events such as the Medal of Honor Motorcade Celebration, | ||
| Patriot Day Ceremony, and Memorial Day Ceremony are designed to | ||
| bring people together, strengthen bonds, and encourage a spirit of | ||
| service among citizens of all ages; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In 2014, Trophy Club adopted a logo that reflects | ||
| the town's deep sense of patriotism, and its red, white, and blue | ||
| design features a star as a key element; the town has given its | ||
| public spaces such names as Independence Park, Freedom Dog Park, | ||
| and Harmony Park, signaling a love of liberty and unity and a | ||
| respect for those who have served in the nation's military; | ||
| Veteran's Memorial Park, located on land donated by the town, was | ||
| established by the Trophy Club Women's Club and is maintained by the | ||
| town in association with the Metroport Veterans Association; other | ||
| patriotic civic groups include the Honor Our Wounded Military | ||
| Foundation and Trophy Club Rotary; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Since its inception, the Town of Trophy Club has set | ||
| an inspiring example by making patriotism a centerpiece of | ||
| community life and civic engagement, and its efforts deserve to be | ||
| duly recognized; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the 89th Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
| hereby designate the Town of Trophy Club as the official Texas Town | ||
| of Patriotism; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That, in accordance with the provisions of | ||
| Section 391.003(e), Government Code, this designation remain in | ||
| effect until the 10th anniversary of the date this resolution is | ||
| finally passed by the legislature. | ||
