R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Tuskegee Airmen, Inc., is an organization dedicated 
to championing the memory of the brave World War II veterans known 
as the Tuskegee Airmen and to upholding their proud legacy of 
courage and service; and
	WHEREAS, The San Antonio Chapter of Tuskegee Airmen, Inc., 
(SAC-TAI) is holding its 14th Annual Educational Awards Banquet on 
May 28, 2005, and the occasion provides a fitting opportunity to 
recognize this notable group and the assistance it provides to 
Texas students; and
	WHEREAS, Granted to college-bound seniors who excel in math 
and science, the SAC-TAI Educational Assistance Awards are an apt 
expression of the organization's efforts to foster high educational 
standards and to encourage the development of tomorrow's civic 
leaders; and
	WHEREAS, In lending the prestige and historical resonance of 
the Tuskegee Airmen to this important educational effort, SAC-TAI 
instills in young people an awareness of their part in a larger 
historical moment, encouraging them to meet the contemporary 
challenges they face with the same profound dedication and sense of 
honor that characterized the Tuskegee Airmen; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby commemorate the 14th Annual Educational 
Assistance Awards Banquet of the San Antonio Chapter of the 
Tuskegee Airmen, Inc., and extend to all those associated with the 
banquet sincere best wishes for a successful event.
