                               RESOLUTION


 
 Recognizing the employees of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, 
the North Texas Commission, USO, and the people and businesses of North 
   Texas for their dedication to the ``Welcome Home a Hero'' program.

Whereas the residents of North Texas have greeted thousands of troops returning 
        to the United States from Iraq and Afghanistan for Rest and Recuperation 
        since the program's inception in June of 2004;
Whereas volunteers from North Texas welcome over 200 troops each day who travel 
        through Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport on their way home;
Whereas these are the first people the troops see upon their return to the 
        United States, and the support they give the troops on behalf of all 
        Americans is invaluable and inspirational;
Whereas citizens like Bert Brady, a veteran, spend 300 days a year at the 
        airport thanking troops for their service and giving them a well 
        deserved homecoming;
Whereas thousands of young men from the Boy Scouts of America's Circle Ten 
        Council have also selflessly contributed to one of the largest and most 
        respected community initiatives in North Texas; and
Whereas these dedicated and selfless volunteers positively impact the morale and 
        spirit of the men and women serving our country in Iraq and Afghanistan 
        and demonstrate our appreciation for their sacrifice to the Country: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives honors the valuable 
work of the ``Welcome Home a Hero'' program and its volunteers and 
expresses gratitude for their efforts to support our troops proudly 
serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
                                 <all>
