Recognizing the veterans who served as interns during the 85th Legislature for their service to the Texas Senate.
The resolution serves to honor the commitment of these veterans, highlighting the importance of their service both to the committee and the broader Texas Senate. It reflects a broader trend of recognizing the value that veterans bring to various capacities within governmental functions. This recognition encourages the engagement of military personnel in legislative roles, fostering an inclusive environment that honors their service.
Senate Resolution 864 recognizes the significant contributions of five college student veterans who served as interns for the Veteran Affairs and Border Security Committee during the 85th Legislature. The resolution acknowledges that these interns, through their dedication and hard work, played a vital role in assisting the committee effectively fulfill its responsibilities. The interns praised in the resolution include Gwen Carmichael, Brad Burnett, Brandon Gajeton, Matthew Hurst, and Pedro Solis.
While there are no notable points of contention with SR864 as it is a resolution acknowledging service rather than proposing a change in law, it may spark discussions on the importance of veteran representation in legislative roles. Additionally, while commendations such as this one typically receive broad support, consideration of how well these internship opportunities translate into future employment for veterans may arise.
