 R E S O L U T I O N
 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.
