R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, First responders from Childress County gathered at
Fair Park for the unveiling of a granite bench dedicated in their
honor on May 1, 2017; and
WHEREAS, The bench is the result of a Family, Career and
Community Leaders of America project designed and carried out by
Childress High School student Nick Garcia; inspired by his
paramedic father, Gerardo Garcia, Mr. Garcia began working on the
project in December 2016; he collaborated with the Childress Lions
Club, the Childress Chamber of Commerce, and a number of other civic
groups to collect the funds needed to build the bench, which bears
the inscription "Dedicated to Those Who Serve and Protect"; and
WHEREAS, Every day, the first responders of Texas put their
lives on the line to help individuals in desperate circumstances,
and Nick Garcia has created a fitting tribute to the courage and
valor of these heroic public servants; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby commend Nick Garcia for recognizing first
responders with a commemorative bench in Fair Park and extend to him
sincere best wishes for continued success in all his endeavors;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Garcia as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
