S.C.R. No. 18

SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
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.
