      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.     Geren     Burrows Guerra Morales Shaw   Alders Guillen Morgan   Allen Harless Muñoz   Anchía Harris Noble   Ashby Harris Davila Olcott   Barry Harrison Oliverson   Bell of Kaufman Hayes Ordaz   Bell of Montgomery Hefner Orr   Bernal Hernandez Patterson   Bhojani Hickland Paul   Bonnen Hinojosa Perez of El Paso   Bowers Holt Perez of Harris   Bryant Hopper Phelan   Buckley Howard Pierson   Bucy Hull Plesa   Bumgarner Hunter Raymond   Button Isaac Reynolds   Cain Johnson Richardson   Campos Jones of Dallas Rodríguez Ramos   Canales Jones of Harris Romero   Capriglione Kerwin Rose   Cole King Rosenthal   Collier Kitzman Schatzline   Cook LaHood Schofield   Cortez Lalani Schoolcraft   Craddick Lambert Shaheen   Cunningham Landgraf Shofner   Curry Leach Simmons   Darby Leo Wilson Slawson   A.
