	H.R. No. 2202



	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The members of the Valle family have made a lasting
	and positive impact on the city of Garland, and their contributions
	indeed merit special recognition; and
	WHEREAS, The first Latino family recorded as residents of
	Garland, the Valles have lived in the city since the late 1920s,
	when Manuel and Maria Valle relocated to the area from El Paso; they
	raised eight children, six sons and two daughters, who were all
	Garland High School graduates and excelled in academics and sports;
	one son, Pascual Valle, was the first all-state football player
	from Garland, and he excelled in track as well; he and his son,
	Tony, became the first father-and-son duo inducted into the Garland
	Sports Hall of Fame; Pascual Valle's wife, Sylvia, was employed in
	education in the community for 45 years until her retirement; and
	WHEREAS, All six of Manuel and Maria Valle's sons served in
	the military, representing the U.S. Army, the U.S. Army Corps of
	Engineers, the U.S. Marine Corps, and the U.S. Air Force; they
	served in World War II, in the Korean and Vietnam Wars, and in
	Middle East conflicts; moreover, the family's eldest daughter
	helped build planes during World War II; and
	WHEREAS, The family's integral role in the city has been
	recognized in a number of ways; in 2014, the Garland Independent
	School District named its student services center in honor of
	Manuel and Maria Valle, and in 2021 a musical drama based on the
	family's history, The Cactus Chronicles, had its debut; and
	WHEREAS, Over the course of nearly a century, the members of
	the Valle family have inspired innumerable residents of North Texas
	through their exemplary service to their community and their
	country, and the family's legacy will continue to resonate for many
	years to come; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
	Legislature hereby commend the Valle family for its many
	contributions to the city of Garland and extend to its members
	sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the Valle family as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
