c. Recognition of Mayor Elizabeth G. Flores by the Laredo Fire Department.
“The Laredo Fire Dept. would like to recognize you on your last meeting as City Mayor with a token of appreciation that is very close to our hearts.
Madam Mayor, words cannot express our appreciation, but I will try. You have assisted the Laredo Fire Department through thick and thin. You have always supported us in more ways than I can count.
When we had a train derailment inside the city, and there was a possibility of a hazardous spill, you were there. When the city was flooded by rain and the riverbanks were cresting, you were there. Who can forget the Sept 11the disaster? You were right there with us watching in horror. When evacuees of Katrina and Rita hurricanes were homeless, you were there to offer our community’s shelters. You have stood with Laredo and us and have supported the department throughout these and many other emergency events.
For this and many other reasons, we feel you deserve this award, which in my 30 year career with the Fire Department, I have seen awarded only three other times. The award is so prestigious because it’s part of our protection equipment, which we use to save lives. This piece of equipment gives us great pride when we use it to fight fires, to shield ourselves when we go to a motor vehicle accidents and when we have to rescue somebody from a car or rushing waters.
This piece of equipment gives us courage when we run into a burning building and we know there is a possibility of the building collapsing on us.
But most of all, this piece of equipment gives us honor when we present it to someone as an award.
Madam Mayor, there have been many people that walk into my office and see this cherished piece of equipment and ask me where can they get one, where they can a buy one and I tell them, “You can’t buy this anywhere, you have to earn it!”
Madam Mayor, on behalf of all the Fire Chiefs before me and all the Firefighters, I would like to present you this White Helmet Award because you have earned it.”
