SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 931
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the participants in the Texas Honor Ride, who have made
special efforts to raise funds for the Warrior and Family Support
Center at Brooke Army Medical Center; and
WHEREAS, The Texas Honor Ride began five years ago when
motorcyclists from the Lone Star Cowboy Church in Montgomery,
Texas, got together to find a way to help the country's wounded
military men and women who were returning from serving their
country; and
WHEREAS, The group raised $60,000 on its first Texas Honor
Ride, and over the last five years, it has raised more than
$500,000 to aid the Warrior and Family Support Center at the
Brooke Army Medical Center; and
WHEREAS, More than 33,000 members of the United States
military have been wounded in this country's war against
terrorism; they and their families have made great sacrifices in
behalf of this nation and richly deserve the gratitude and
support of their fellow citizens; and
WHEREAS, The funds raised by the Texas Honor Ride are
dedicated to the support of these heroes and their families and
assist them with the help they need to overcome the many
challenges they face; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
