87(1) SR 34 - Enrolled version - Bill Text

	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 34
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	recognize the interpreters who have risked their lives to serve
	as allies of the United States Armed Forces in Afghanistan; and
	WHEREAS, When our nation sent its sons and daughters to
	fight in Afghanistan and Iraq, it enlisted a second army to
	support the fight against global terrorism; these local allies in
	Afghanistan signed on to help build bases, support troops, and
	perhaps most importantly, to serve as interpreters; and
	WHEREAS, Interpreters serve as the cultural and linguistic
	bridge that allows members of the armed forces to communicate
	with locals and better understand their surroundings; and
	WHEREAS, United States troops would not be able to perform
	their jobs in foreign lands without the assistance of
	interpreters, and many of our troops are alive today because of
	their courageous service; and
	WHEREAS, The brave interpreters who have risked their
	lives to join the global war on terrorism are indeed deserving of
	special recognition for their distinguished service on behalf of
	the United States Armed Forces; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th
	Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend all those
	interpreters in Afghanistan who followed the call to fight
	against terrorism and extend to them sincere gratitude for their
	heroic service; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
	them as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
	Lucio
