SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 615
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize Charles Duncan for the heroism he displayed in saving a |
|
woman from a burning automobile; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, On March 14, 2017, Charles Duncan was traveling on |
|
US Highway 183 when his truck was hit from behind by another |
|
vehicle; the other vehicle then careened through a fence and onto |
|
an open field, where a fire broke out under the hood and quickly |
|
spread to the grass surrounding the vehicle; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Without regard for his own safety, Mr. Duncan |
|
rushed to the vehicle and was able to help the woman escape before |
|
an explosion further damaged her automobile; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Charles Duncan exhibited great bravery and quick |
|
thinking in rescuing the woman from her burning vehicle, and it |
|
is truly fitting that he receive special recognition; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
Legislature, hereby commend Charles Duncan on his heroic actions |
|
and extend to him best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
him as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
