H.R. No. 94 



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The people of Texas have a distinguished tradition 
of service in the armed forces of the United States, and Michael Ray 
Hawk has sustained that tradition through his valiant efforts in 
the Iraqi campaign; and
	WHEREAS, Born at Sheppard Air Force Base, this native Texan 
exhibited an adventuresome spirit from a young age, rendering his 
parents frantic as a two-year-old when he disappeared from his room 
on an early mission in search of playthings; gregarious and 
good-humored, he proved a lively visitor as a youth to his 
great-grandfather's nursing home, where he brightened the lives of 
many with his warmth and affection; and
	WHEREAS, A talented athlete as well, this outstanding team 
player has always risen to each new challenge he has taken on, so it 
was perhaps of little surprise that he would one day join the U.S. 
Army Reserves and continue his family's proud history of military 
service; and
	WHEREAS, Currently a member of the 369th Transportation Unit, 
Michael Hawk is proud of his heritage and has developed a love for 
Texas history; he hopes to one day become a teacher, so that he may 
ignite this passion within a new generation of young Texans; and
	WHEREAS, Citizens across the country owe this resolute 
American and his fellow servicemen and servicewomen an immeasurable 
debt of gratitude for the burdens and sacrifice they have assumed 
and for their unwavering dedication to those rights and ideals that 
have made this nation, for so many around the world, the promised 
land; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby honor Michael Ray Hawk for 
his service in the Iraqi war and extend to him profound appreciation 
for his brave and steadfast efforts in this country's behalf; and, 
be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Michael Hawk as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.

                                                                           Allen

                                                  ______________________________
                                                       Speaker of the House     

	I certify that H.R. No. 94 was adopted by the House on May 11, 
2004, by a non-record vote.
