R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Leopold R. Moreno received a most deserving honor on 
February 22, 2005, when he was given the Bronze Star Medal for his 
distinguished service during World War II; and
	WHEREAS, Born on August 8, 1923, in Beeville, Mr. Moreno 
served in the U.S. Army from February 1943 to November 1945 and  
fought valiantly in the Philippines, where he was wounded; he 
received a Purple Heart and was due to receive a Bronze Star Medal, 
but a paperwork problem prevented him from receiving it; and
	WHEREAS, On February 22, 2005, at a ceremony at the Denver 
Harbor Senior Citizens Center in Houston, the long-awaited 
commendation was bestowed on this distinguished Texan; Mr. Moreno 
is a source of tremendous pride to his beloved wife of 59 years and 
to his nine children, 16 grandchildren, and nine 
great-grandchildren, and it is a distinct privilege to pay tribute 
to the courage and loyalty of this brave soldier; now, therefore, be 
it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby honor Leopold R. Moreno for his exemplary action 
during World War II, for which he earned the prestigious Bronze Star 
Medal, and extend to him sincere gratitude for his service; and, be 
it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. Moreno as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
