SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 361
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the members of Warriors United in Arms for their many
contributions to veterans in the Rio Grande Valley; and
WHEREAS, Warriors United in Arms was founded by Tony Garcia
in 2013; the organization's membership consists of local
veterans who are committed to helping other veterans; and
WHEREAS, Members improve the lives of area veterans by
assisting them with job searches, helping them locate veterans'
resources, and providing them with funds for medical expenses,
food, utility assistance, or housing costs; the group also hosts
monthly meetings to discuss civilian life and coping strategies
for post-traumatic stress disorder; and

lost during the Vietnam War; and
WHEREAS, Members of Warriors United in Arms continue to
serve their country as military veterans, and they are indeed
deserving of recognition for representing the highest ideals of
patriotic service; now, therefore, be it
