 1-3           WHEREAS, The State of Texas is justly proud of one of its

 1-4     fine young citizens, Waylon Nelson, who recently achieved the

 1-5     rank of Eagle Scout; and

 1-6           WHEREAS, This outstanding young gentleman brought honor

 1-7     to himself, his family, his troop, his community, and his state

 1-8     in earning the coveted Eagle Badge; and

 1-9           WHEREAS, Waylon completed a service project which required

1-10     him to exercise his leadership abilities and at the same time

1-11     benefit his community; and

1-12           WHEREAS, Few are ever privileged to be named among the

1-16     promise, Waylon advanced from Tenderfoot, Second, First, Star,

1-17     and Life classes to that of Eagle Scout; he is truly an exemplary

1-18     citizen of the State of Texas; now, therefore, be it

1-19           RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,

1-20     75th Legislature, hereby congratulate Waylon Nelson on attaining
