WHEREAS, Lieutenant Adrian Diaz of the Corpus Christi Police
Department has deservedly been presented with a Life Saving Award
for his heroic actions in the line of duty; and
WHEREAS, On November 4, 2014, Lieutenant Diaz responded to a
9-1-1 call about a man who was found unconscious in his truck; the
man's companion had begun performing CPR to restore his breathing
and heartbeat, and after arriving on the scene, Lieutenant Diaz
joined him and another officer, Bob Dorsch, in administering chest
compressions and rescue breathing to keep the victim alive; and
WHEREAS, Although the victim remained unresponsive, the
three men continued their efforts until paramedics could reach them
and transport the man to a hospital; miraculously, the victim
survived, which emergency personnel credited to their early and
sustained attempts to resuscitate him; and
WHEREAS, In a crisis situation, Lieutenant Adrian Diaz
remained calm and implemented the skills he had learned in his
training, and in so doing, he helped to save the life of a fellow
Texan in need; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize Lieutenant Adrian Diaz on his receipt
of the Life Saving Award from the Corpus Christi Police Department
and extend to him sincere appreciation for his admirable public
service; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Lieutenant Diaz as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
