R E S O L U T I O N
       WHEREAS, In March 2021, Governor Greg Abbott initiated
Operation Lone Star in an effort to address the issue of

criminal activities along the southern border; and

the camp's daily operations; the soldiers at Camp Charlie proudly
support the State of Texas and their adopted city of Eagle Pass, and
they have likewise been warmly welcomed by the wider community; and
       WHEREAS, The men and women of Camp Charlie are steadfastly
dedicated to the safety and well-being of the citizens of Texas, and
their efforts are contributing to a challenging yet vital mission
for our state and nation; now, therefore, be it
       RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby recognize October 24, 2023,
