|---|
| 12 | 12 | | raised the American flag at the intersection of State Highway 114 |

|---|
| 14 | 14 | | hosted Independence Day celebrations carried out by local families |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | since the early 1970s; today, the flag continues to fly at the site, |

|---|
| 20 | 20 | | in town; and |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | WHEREAS, Trophy Club originated as a small, golf-centric |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | retreat that quickly became home to numerous Dallas-area executives |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | and retirees; over the years, the master-planned town has grown |
|---|
| 24 | 24 | | into a lively residential community with more than 14,000 |
|---|
| 25 | 25 | | residents; the population is deeply engaged in community-oriented |
|---|
| 26 | 26 | | activities, including school functions, church services, and the |
|---|
| 27 | 27 | | meetings of town advisory groups, clubs, and other organizations; |
|---|

|---|
| 32 | 32 | | WHEREAS, In 2014, Trophy Club adopted a logo that reflects |
|---|
| 33 | 33 | | the town's deep sense of patriotism, and its red, white, and blue |
|---|

|---|
| 35 | 35 | | public spaces such names as Independence Park, Freedom Dog Park, |
|---|
| 36 | 36 | | and Harmony Park, signaling a love of liberty and unity and a |
|---|
| 37 | 37 | | respect for those who have served in the nation's military; |
|---|
| 38 | 38 | | Veteran's Memorial Park, located on land donated by the town, was |
|---|

|---|

|---|
| 43 | 43 | | WHEREAS, Since its inception, the Town of Trophy Club has set |
|---|
| 44 | 44 | | an inspiring example by making patriotism a centerpiece of |
|---|
| 45 | 45 | | community life and civic engagement, and its efforts deserve to be |
|---|
| 46 | 46 | | duly recognized; now, therefore, be it |
|---|
