placed first in armed drill exhibition, academics, unit inspection, 
and overall drill, and took second place in unarmed basic 
exhibition, fourth place in armed basic exhibition, and fifth place 
in unarmed drill exhibition; and

against representatives of the other armed services in the 2006 
National High School Drill Team Championships, to be held in May in 
Daytona Beach, Florida; and
	WHEREAS, The team's outstanding showing is further 
underscored by Cadet Commander Tyler Grant's appointment to the 
U.S. Naval Academy; and

surely heralds a bright future, and their outstanding record of 
achievement is a source of great pride to their school and 
community; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
