H.R. No. 1178
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, In a heartwarming gesture of kindness and support,
five-year-old Brittan Brock of Childress made a care package of
sandwiches to be given to firefighters who were battling the recent
wildfires in the Texas Panhandle; and
WHEREAS, The daughter of Sawyer and Shelby Bocanegra, Brittan
was deeply saddened by stories of the devastating fires in that
region; after learning that her uncle would be taking supplies to
people affected by the disaster, this caring young girl decided to
make her own contribution to the donations that were being
collected from the community; and
WHEREAS, Brittan was joined in this endeavor by her
two-year-old brother, Westin; the siblings, whose grandfather is a
retired firefighter and whose uncle worked for the Texas A&M Forest
Service, hold in high regard the heroes who risk their lives to
protect others, and they enclosed a hand-drawn sign reading "Thank
You for Saving Texas" along with the cooler that they had filled
with sandwiches; and
WHEREAS, Through her effort to uplift firefighters
performing difficult and dangerous work, Brittan has demonstrated
compassion and maturity beyond her years, and she is a source of
pride to all who know her; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby commend Brittan Brock for making sandwiches for
firefighters in the Texas Panhandle and extend to her sincere best
wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Brittan as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
