1 | 1 | | SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 586 |
---|
2 | 2 | | WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
---|
3 | 3 | | recognize Madison Davis on the occasion of the statewide |
---|
4 | 4 | | commemoration of the Month of the Military Child, which is being |
---|
5 | 5 | | celebrated in April, 2009; and |
---|
6 | 6 | | WHEREAS, As part of the celebration, the Texas Senate |
---|
7 | 7 | | Committee on Veteran Affairs and Military Installations |
---|
8 | 8 | | sponsored an Art and Poetry Contest for children whose parents |
---|
9 | 9 | | are current or recent members of the military forces; Madison was |
---|
10 | 10 | | selected a winner in the art contest; she is a fourth-grade |
---|
11 | 11 | | student at Clear Creek Elementary School in Fort Hood, and her |
---|
12 | 12 | | art will remain on display at the State Capitol throughout the |
---|
13 | 13 | | legislative session; and |
---|
14 | 14 | | WHEREAS, The Month of the Military Child was established in |
---|
15 | 15 | | 1986 to honor the importance of the children whose parents serve |
---|
16 | 16 | | our nation in the armed forces; and |
---|
17 | 17 | | WHEREAS, Military children face unique challenges as they |
---|
18 | 18 | | grow up in a military family; over the course of a military career |
---|
19 | 19 | | the average family moves nine times, forcing a young person to |
---|
20 | 20 | | change schools and say goodbye to friends and familiar faces, and |
---|
21 | 21 | | long overseas deployments also present special difficulties for |
---|
22 | 22 | | children and parents; and |
---|
23 | 23 | | WHEREAS, Madison has faced these challenges with courage |
---|
24 | 24 | | and composure, providing her parents with steadfast support as |
---|
25 | 25 | | they fulfill their duty in service to our nation; her resilience |
---|
26 | 26 | | and self-confidence are truly deserving of recognition as we |
---|
27 | 27 | | celebrate the Month of the Military Child; now, therefore, be it |
---|
28 | 28 | | RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 81st |
---|
29 | 29 | | Legislature, hereby commend Madison Davis on her important role |
---|
30 | 30 | | in maintaining the morale of our armed forces while meeting the |
---|
31 | 31 | | unique challenges of the military way of life; and, be it further |
---|
32 | 32 | | RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
---|
33 | 33 | | her as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
