|
             WHEREAS, In March 2021, Governor Greg Abbott initiated |
 
|
Operation Lone Star in an effort to address the issue of |
 
|
unauthorized immigration and to assist Texas counties in combatting |
 
|
criminal activities along the southern border; and |
 
|
             WHEREAS, On October 24 of that year, Camp Charlie was |
 
|
constructed on the land that once served the soldiers at Eagle Pass |
 
|
Army Airfield during World War II; Task Force West was the first to |
 
|
be activated at Camp Charlie, and in September 2022, command was |
 
|
turned over to Task Force Eagle; and |
 
|
             WHEREAS, Camp Charlie is a 20-acre community made up of |
 
|
contractors, soldiers, and local residents who are responsible for |
 
|
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, |
 
|
as Camp Charlie Day and extend deep appreciation to the personnel at |
 
|
Camp Charlie for their honorable service. |
