H.R. No. 1335 is a resolution commemorating the 20th annual Operation: Hats Off for Veterans BBQ Gala, scheduled for April 6, 2025, in Kyle, Texas. The event, originally initiated by Lisa Adams in 2005 as Hats Off for Hospice, has evolved to support veterans through various initiatives, including higher education scholarships and mental health programs. The organization has garnered support from local businesses and individuals, focusing on fulfilling the needs of veterans, particularly those dealing with PTSD through its Courage to Connect initiative.
The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' recognition of the significant impact Operation: Hats Off for Veterans has made over the past two decades and extends best wishes for the continued success of the event and its mission. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of appreciation for the organization and its contributions to the community.
