WHEREAS, Justin James Veltman of Boy Scouts of America Troop
No. 384 in Burleson has attained the rank of Eagle Scout, and this
accomplishment truly merits special recognition; and
WHEREAS, Receiving the Eagle Scout badge is a significant
honor, bestowed on only a small fraction of those who enter the
scouting movement; in the course of meeting the rank's demanding
criteria, Mr. Veltman earned 22 merit badges and successfully
completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his community, which
involved cleaning and painting a room used for storage at Green Oaks
School in Arlington so it could be used as a classroom; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Veltman's stellar scouting career also included
his participation in President George W. Bush's gubernatorial
inauguration in January 1999 and presidential inauguration in
January 2001, as well as Governor Rick Perry's gubernatorial
inauguration in 2003; and
WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has demonstrated outstanding
leadership ability; in addition to his induction into the Order of
the Arrow, he has ably served his fellow scouts as patrol leader,
assistant patrol leader, troop librarian, and senior patrol leader,
winning their respect and admiration as he worked toward the
highest rank that scouting offers; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Veltman's dedication to excellence and
his perseverance in the pursuit of his goals have proven him worthy
to stand among scouting's elite, and he may indeed reflect with
pride on a job well done; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby congratulate Justin James
Veltman on earning the rank of Eagle Scout, and extend to him
sincere best wishes for continued success and happiness; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Veltman as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
