By honoring Trammel, the resolution advocates for greater awareness of local heroes and encourages others to contribute to community service initiatives. This recognition can inspire further volunteerism among constituents.

Summary

House Resolution 2128 is a commendatory resolution celebrating Verna Trammel for her exemplary contributions to the community of Galveston County. Recognized as a 2009 Unsung Hero by the Galveston County Daily News, Trammel has dedicated herself to serving others by crocheting items such as lap blankets for individuals with mobility issues and caps for cancer patients.

Contention

Although HR2128 does not appear to be contentious in nature, the debates often surrounding resolutions of this kind might stem from varying opinions on what constitutes 'heroic' actions.
