SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 454
WHEREAS, Members of the Matagorda County Cavalry are
committed to honoring veterans, active duty military personnel,
and first responders in their local communities; and
WHEREAS, The cavalry was founded in 2009, when a group of
motorcyclists organized a ride to welcome home a soldier who had
recently returned from Iraq; since then, the group has paid
tribute to heroes in many ways, including escorting wounded
soldiers to fishing tournaments and participating in motorcycle
parades for the Matagorda County First Responders; and
WHEREAS, In July 2010, the organization escorted the
traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall; named "The Parade They Never
Had," the event paid tribute to those veterans who made the
ultimate sacrifice in behalf of their country, and participants
traveled from Rosenberg to East Bernard and finally to El Campo,
where the wall was assembled; and
WHEREAS, Members of the Matagorda County Cavalry are
carrying out a noble mission by recognizing veterans, members of
the military, and first responders for their service and by
supporting military families, and in so doing they are ensuring
that these brave men and women receive the assistance and
appreciation they so richly deserve; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
Legislature, hereby commend the members of the Matagorda County
Cavalry for their worthy efforts and extend to all those involved
sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
prepared for the organization as an expression of high regard by
the Texas Senate.
