Mayor Whitmire proclaims Oct. 29 as 'Tank' Dell Day in Houston
Houston Mayor John Whitmire played host to Houston Texans star Nathaniel "Tank" Dell during City Council on Wednesday.
"We do a lot of proclamations, but this one stands out because it's for a Houstonian we are proud to have as one of us," Mayor Whitmire said.
On the eve of the former University of Houston star's 27th birthday, Mayor Whitmire proclaimed Oct. 29 Nathaniel "Tank" Dell Day in Houston.
"I had the honor and privilege of getting to know Tank last year," Whitmire said. "What is so special about today is that on behalf of Houstonians I get to thank Tank for bringing joy in our lives. In these days of turmoil and strife, it's darn good to have someone to look up to."
Mayor Whitmire praised Tank for his determination and courage to persevere despite his injuries.
"Not many athletes could come back from back-to-back severe injuries," Mayor Whitmire said.
