A RESOLUTION

Commending Officer Mary Price; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, Officer Mary Price has served with honor and distinction as a correctional officer at Calhoun State Prison and is an honest and dedicated public servant who strives for excellence in all her endeavors and whose primary concern is the welfare and safety of the citizens of this state; and

WHEREAS, she is highly regarded by the citizens of her community and by state and local government officials as a woman of unquestioned integrity and dedication to the administration of justice and sound principles of law enforcement; and

WHEREAS, she selflessly and heroically extricated the driver of an overturned, burning vehicle mere seconds before the vehicle exploded; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body unanimously commend the care, courage, sympathy, and selfless dedication exhibited by Officer Mary Price in carrying out the difficult duties of her vocation and extend to her their utmost appreciation for having so purely and truly defined for others the meaning of public servant.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to Officer Mary Price.
