	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	join the citizens of Edinburg in celebrating Edinburg Day at the
	Capitol on March 6, 2019; and
	WHEREAS, The county seat of Hidalgo County, Edinburg is a
	thriving community in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley, and the
	city holds a wealth of opportunities for residents and visitors
	alike; and
	WHEREAS, Edinburg is one of the fastest-growing cities in
	the state and is considered a regional hub for both health care
	and air travel; the city is home to The University of Texas Rio
	Grande Valley's main campus and to its School of Medicine; in
	addition, the United States Border Patrol Rio Grande Valley
	Sector is headquartered in Edinburg; and
	WHEREAS, Edinburg draws thousands of visitors to its
	sports arenas and recreational venues; the city boasts a
	professional soccer stadium and the Bert Ogden Arena, a
	state-of-the-art indoor arena that is the largest of its kind
	south of San Antonio; and
	WHEREAS, As a tribute to the valor of hometown legends
	Sergeant Freddy Gonzalez and Private Pedro Cano, both of whom
	received the Congressional and Texas Legislative Medals of
	Honor, the City of Edinburg is often referred to as the "Hometown
	of Heroes"; and
	WHEREAS, Edinburg has implemented a successful
	revitalization program that has resulted in improvements
	throughout the city, and it is a three-time recipient of the
	All-America City award, one of the oldest and most prestigious
	municipal recognition awards in the nation; residents can indeed
	take pride in their flourishing community while looking forward
	to a bright and prosperous future; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
	Legislature, hereby commend the citizens of Edinburg for their
	many contributions to the state and extend to them best wishes
	for a memorable Edinburg Day at the Capitol; and, be it further
