	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Paramedic Brandon Daugherty of the Wise County
	Office of Emergency Management has been named the recipient of a
	Life Saving Medal in recognition of his role in providing medical
	assistance to two Fort Worth residents involved in a vehicle
	accident; and
	WHEREAS, On February 2, 2022, Brandon Daugherty responded to
	a traffic incident in which a car lost control on an iced-over
	bridge and plunged into the Trinity River; the passenger was pulled
	from the vehicle by a witness, and the driver remained trapped in
	the car when it sank; a Wise County swift water technician swam into
	the frigid river and extracted the man from the vehicle;
	Mr. Daugherty helped provide lifesaving assistance on the shore,
	and the man rescued from the submerged car was transported to a
	hospital and is expected to fully recover; and
	WHEREAS, Every day, the first responders of Texas are called
	to the aid of individuals in need, and through his swift and
	decisive action in this critical situation, Brandon Daugherty
	upheld the highest standards of his profession and helped to save
	the life of a fellow citizen; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature
	hereby congratulate Brandon Daugherty of the Wise County Office of
	Emergency Management on his receipt of a Life Saving Medal and
	extend to him sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Mr. Daugherty as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas Senate.
