SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 75
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the members of the Guadalupe Valley Young Marines and
to commend them for their participation in Red Ribbon Week; and
WHEREAS, The Young Marines is a national, nonprofit youth
organization that is open to all students from age eight

promote the mental, moral, and physical development of their

develop the self-discipline they need to live healthy,
drug-free lifestyles; and
WHEREAS, Red Ribbon Week is a national illegal drug
awareness campaign observed annually during the final week of

about the importance of illicit drug-use prevention at the local
level; approximately 80 million individuals across the country
participate in Red Ribbon Week each year; and
WHEREAS, This important campaign is one of the Young
Marines' primary annual events, and members of the Guadalupe
Valley unit participate in numerous activities to promote the
mission of Red Ribbon Week in their community; all who are taking
part in this educational event are indeed deserving of special
recognition; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th

Guadalupe Valley Young Marines for their commitment to the fight
against illicit drugs and extend to them best wishes for a
