recognize national service participants in Texas and around the | ||
nation on the occasion of National Service Recognition Day on | ||
April 2, 2019; and | ||
WHEREAS, Service to others is a hallmark of the American | ||
character and integral to the American way of life, and the | ||
nation's cities are increasingly turning to service organizations | ||
to meet the evolving needs of the public; and | ||
WHEREAS, National service organizations like AmeriCorps | ||
and Senior Corps are able to address the most pressing challenges | ||
in our communities through the selfless service of countless | ||
volunteers; and | ||
WHEREAS, AmeriCorps and Senior Corps participants serve in | ||
more than 50,000 locations in the United States, and they help | ||
bolster civic, charitable, and faith-based organizations that | ||
are vital to our economic and social well-being; national service | ||
participants consistently manifest patriotism and an unyielding | ||
commitment to assist their fellow citizens; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Corporation for National and Community Service | ||
shares a priority with local leaders to strengthen communities, | ||
and the organization is partnering with the National League of | ||
Cities, the National Association of Counties, Cities of Service, | ||
and leaders across the nation to honor those who give of their time | ||
to improve the lives of others; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend national service members throughout | ||
the country for exemplifying the highest ideals of the citizenry | ||
and encourage Texans around the state to recognize the positive | ||
