The resolution emphasizes the importance of remembrance for military personnel who have sacrificed their lives for their country. While not altering state laws or regulations directly, HR2116 serves a ceremonial purpose, bringing awareness to the contributions of such individuals and fostering a culture of respect and honor for veterans among the community and state lawmakers.
HR2116 is a resolution introduced in the Texas House of Representatives in honor of U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Clay Allen Craig from Clarksville, Tennessee. This resolution serves to commemorate his life and his ultimate sacrifice while serving in Iraq, where he was killed on April 29, 2008, during his third tour of duty. The resolution pays tribute to Craig, recognizing his dedication to both his country and his family, highlighting his selflessness and valor as characteristics that defined his life and military service.
As a resolution, HR2116 does not seem to be accompanied by notable contention or debates typical of legislative bills that propose policy changes or resource allocations.
