H.R. No. 1547

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Army Marathon III was held on March 1, 2015,
	furthering its reputation as one of the premier athletic charity
	events in the Killeen/Temple/Fort Hood area; and
	WHEREAS, Created in 2013 to honor the men and women of the
	United States armed services, The Army Marathon is a nonprofit
	event that raises funds to benefit active-duty personnel, veterans,
	and their families; through the various races and other events
	associated with the marathon, organizers provide financial support
	to a variety of worthwhile groups, including the Military Child
	Education Coalition, the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors,
	and Scott & White Military Homefront Services; and
	WHEREAS, This year's marathon, half-marathon, and 5K races
	drew 1,500 runners and walkers who ranged in age from 13 to 84 and
	hailed from some 40 U.S. states and other locations around the
	world; more than 500 volunteers and contractors helped ensure the
	event was a success, including representatives from Junior ROTC
	groups, civic associations, businesses, and veterans
	organizations; moreover, mayors, city council members, and city
	managers from area municipalities helped with coordinating the
	marathon; and
	WHEREAS, Valuable assistance was also offered by medical
	professionals from Baylor Scott & White, as well as by personnel
	from the Central Texas Council of Governments and surrounding fire
	and EMS departments; peace officers from Killeen, Harker Heights,
	Belton, Temple, the Bell County Sheriff's Office, and the Texas
	Department of Public Safety helped to maintain a secure and safe
	environment for all involved; and
	WHEREAS, In keeping with the marathon's name, a number of
	participants and volunteers were active military personnel or
	veterans, and the race serves as a tribute to the heroic and
	selfless efforts of our men and women in uniform; and
	WHEREAS, By honoring the rich military heritage of the United
	States and raising money to assist those who have served, The Army
	Marathon III is an outstanding Central Texas event, and all those
	who played a part in the race may reflect with pride on a job well
	done; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize the participants, volunteers, civic
	leaders, and public servants who helped make The Army Marathon III a
	success and extend to them sincere best wishes for the future.
