 H.R. No. 929

  

  

   

 R E S O L U T I O N

   

        WHEREAS, The American Warrior Association has made a profound 

  

 impact in the lives of military personnel, veterans, first 

  

 responders, and their families through its efforts to address the 

  

 often-overlooked wounds of service; and

  

        WHEREAS, The Texas-based organization has launched a 

  

 historic public-private partnership called "R3: Respond. Restore. 

  

 Resolve." that is aimed at alleviating the psychological, 

  

 emotional, and spiritual harm associated with moral injury, which 

  

 has been defined as the emotional distress experienced by first 

  

 responders, military service members, and veterans when actions 

  

 conflict with their moral beliefs; the R3 Program offers training, 

  

 access to non-clinical preventative care resources, and culturally 

  

 competent counseling, all with the goal of eliminating potential 

  

 stigma and increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of 

  

 departmental support services; and

  

        WHEREAS, Through this endeavor, AWA is helping to improve 

  

 overall performance and morale among our state's first responder 

  

 and veteran workforce; these efforts further benefit our 

  

 communities by enhancing first responders' mental resilience and 

  

 ability to de-escalate situations and by strengthening their 

  

 relations with the citizens they serve; and

  

        WHEREAS, The vital work being undertaken by AWA takes on 

  

 added significance in connection with Moral Injury Awareness Day on 

  

 May 14, 2025, an observance that is shedding light on the internal 

  

 burdens that may arise when one's service experiences conflict with 

  

 personal values or professional expectations; and

  

        WHEREAS, Through the R3 Program, the American Warrior 

  

 Association is helping to tackle an issue that exacts a heavy toll 

  

 on veterans and first responders while further promoting a culture 

  

 of strength, readiness, and mutual support among the heroes in our 

  

 communities who need a helping hand; now, therefore, be it

  

        RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas 

  

 Legislature hereby honor the American Warrior Association for its 

  

 contributions to military personnel, veterans, first responders, 

  

 and their families and extend to all those affiliated with the 

  

 organization sincere best wishes for continued success with their 

  

 important work; and, be it further

  

        RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 

  

 prepared for AWA as an expression of high regard by the Texas House 

   

 of Representatives.
