WHEREAS, For well over a decade, the North Texas Warrior Golf
Association has rendered invaluable service to veterans across the
region; and
WHEREAS, Matt Rosenberger, then a high school golf player,
established the North Texas Wounded Warrior Golf Association in
2011 for the purpose of supporting the Salute Military Golf
Association; Mr. Rosenberger and his father, Glenn Rosenberger,
subsequently hosted two fundraising golf tournaments; in 2013, the
first North Texas Warrior Golf Clinic took place, and the group
began offering other activities to veterans; and
WHEREAS, Today, the charitable organization is known as the
North Texas Warrior Golf Association and is led by an all-veteran
board of directors as a chapter of the Salute Military Golf
Association; headquartered in Flower Mound, NTWGA provides
rehabilitative golfing experiences in support of wounded veterans,
including those who deployed overseas in support of Operation Iraqi
Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom after the terrorist attacks
of September 11, 2001; and
WHEREAS, In carrying out its mission, NTWGA serves veterans
who have post-traumatic stress disorder as well as those who have
undergone amputations or have sustained traumatic brain and spinal
cord injuries, visual impairment, burns, or muscle and nerve
damage; through the therapeutic benefits of golf found in such
settings as clinics, lessons, and rounds played on courses, the
association is helping veterans overcome physical and mental
challenges while assisting them with social integration and the
transition to civilian life; the organization provides
participants with golf attire and equipment, and it holds its
signature event, an eight-week instructional clinic, each spring;
on September 22, 2025, NTWGA is conducting its 15th annual North
Texas Warrior Golf Association Mission Zero Classic; and
WHEREAS, All Americans owe a profound debt of gratitude to
those who have served with the U.S. armed forces in the defense of
our nation, and with its remarkable level of commitment, NTWGA is
helping to improve the lives of wounded veterans through the game of
golf; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby commend the North Texas Warrior Golf Association
for its exceptional contributions to area military veterans and
extend to all those associated with the organization sincere best
wishes for continued success with their important work; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for NTWGA as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
