WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize the Patriot Guard Riders for their exemplary efforts in | ||
support of the families of veterans and active-duty military | ||
members who have lost a loved one; and | ||
WHEREAS, Founded in response to protests at the funerals of | ||
fallen American service members, the Patriot Guard Riders are a | ||
group of citizens from across the nation whose respect for the | ||
sacrifices made by the men and women of our military and their | ||
families inspires and compels them to stand with those families | ||
as they mourn those who have given the last full measure of | ||
devotion to their country; and | ||
WHEREAS, This dedicated nonprofit organization provides, | ||
at the request of the bereaved family, a motorcycle honor guard to | ||
pay tribute to the honored memory of our nation's veterans and to | ||
shield mourners from the potential disruption of protestors; and | ||
WHEREAS, This inspirational alliance of people of all | ||
political persuasions embodies the American ideals of patriotism | ||
and compassion, and its members are truly deserving of | ||
recognition for their loyal dedication to service; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd | ||
Legislature, hereby commend the Patriot Guard Riders on their | ||
commitment to supporting the families of the nation's service | ||
members and veterans and extend to them best wishes for continued | ||
success in all their future endeavors; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
this outstanding organization as an expression of high regard | ||
from the Texas Senate. | ||
