| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize the AT&T Veterans organization, whose members are | ||
| celebrating 30 years of volunteer community service to military | ||
| veterans and their families; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The members of AT&T Veterans are marking this | ||
| milestone of service during National Volunteer Week, April 21 | ||
| through 27, 2013; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Over the years, this extraordinarily active | ||
| organization has collaborated with many major nonprofit | ||
| organizations, including the American Red Cross, Military Moms | ||
| of Texas, and Wounded Warriors, and has partnered with companies | ||
| such as The Home Depot, Target, and H-E-B to serve the thousands | ||
| of veterans who call Texas home; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Volunteers with the AT&T Veterans have helped | ||
| numerous homeless veterans find a renewed sense of pride and | ||
| dignity, and they have worked with such organizations as the | ||
| Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program, Centurion Military | ||
| Alliance, and BackOnMyFeet.com to help transitioning military | ||
| personnel find a way to apply their skills and experiences in the | ||
| job market here at home; and | ||
| WHEREAS, AT&T has supported active military personnel, | ||
| veterans, and their families for almost 100 years, and the | ||
| company has educated its hiring managers on the benefits of | ||
| hiring military veterans; in keeping with this tradition, AT&T | ||
| recently joined nine other companies in launching the 100,000 | ||
| Jobs Mission and pledging to collectively hire 100,000 veterans | ||
| and former active duty personnel by the end of 2020; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Americans who have served their country have | ||
| more than earned the right to lead fruitful and productive lives | ||
| once they return home; the members of AT&T Veterans offer | ||
| invaluable assistance to these valiant veterans and help to | ||
| welcome them back to the civilian life and liberty they fought to | ||
| preserve and protect; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, | ||
| 83rd Legislature, hereby commend the AT&T Veterans organization | ||
| and extend to its members sincere best wishes for further success | ||
| in all their future endeavors; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| this exceptional group as an expression of esteem from the Texas | ||
| Senate. | ||
