Hôm nay chúng tôi nhận được email của Phó Thống Đốc tiểu bang Texas, ông Dan Patrick. Xin trích lại một phần trong thư mà ông dành riêng để ca ngợi Texas State Troopers, cũng như ông đã mở cửa tòa nhà Quốc Hội TX để cho họ nghỉ ngơi. Đồng thời ông cũng lo phần ăn, nước uống, trái cây, snacks và ngay cả vớ cho họ.
Thật vui khi thấy một vị lãnh đạo cao cấp của tiểu bang đã tận tình lo lắng cho các state troopers để họ an lòng lo việc bảo vệ an ninh cho cả tiểu bang.
Cám ơn vị Phó Thống Đốc của chúng tôi.
Hats Off to Our Texas State Troopers
Beginning a couple of weeks ago, state troopers from all over the state were deployed to several cities, including Austin, to provide support to local police. Over 700 troopers were sent to the Capitol. I saw a photo online of state troopers lying on the hard marble floors in the Texas Capitol to rest during their breaks. I immediately drove to Austin and opened up the Senate Chamber. It has a soft carpet, and I knew the troopers protecting the Capitol could rest more comfortably there. I also provided meals and snacks for the troopers and sat up tables in the back hall of the Senate Chamber so they had a place to sit down to eat. Ultimately, we provided thousands of bottles of water, hundreds of pounds of fruit and even 800 pairs of socks since we learned the troopers were running short on them. I provided dozens of tours of the back offices and got to talk with hundreds of these men and women who are dedicated to our state. I slept in my office in the Capitol several nights in order to be there for the troopers 24/7. We must never forget to thank the men and women of law enforcement for their service, particularly in these challenging times. We took lots of photos. Here are a few of them
