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. |
