WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize the REACH Therapeutic Riding Center for its | ||
outstanding work in helping wounded veterans through the Horses | ||
for Heroes program; and | ||
WHEREAS, Horses for Heroes is a free program for United | ||
States military veterans who have suffered injuries in the line | ||
of duty; it works to improve the mind, body, and spirit of | ||
disabled and wounded veterans through the use of horses, and it | ||
offers the opportunity to socialize with fellow veterans; and | ||
WHEREAS, This exceptional program draws on the | ||
well-documented bond between horses and humans to help injured | ||
veterans adjust physically and emotionally to their post-war | ||
lives and to achieve their highest potential; and | ||
WHEREAS, Volunteers who are also veterans are recruited to | ||
support their fellow veterans; these men and women provide moral | ||
and physical support and honor the military's philosophy of | ||
leaving no soldier behind; and | ||
WHEREAS, Horses for Heroes plays a vital role in the | ||
rehabilitation of the men and women who have courageously | ||
defended the nation's security and democratic ideals; it is truly | ||
fitting that this exceptional program be recognized for the | ||
impact it has had on the lives of the nation's veterans; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby commend the staff and | ||
volunteers of the REACH Therapeutic Riding Center on their | ||
remarkable work with the Horses for Heroes program and extend to | ||
them best wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
the center as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. | ||
