SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 813
         WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
  recognize Boy Scout Troop 399 of Austin, which is honoring 16 of
  its members as Eagle Scouts at an Eagle Court of Honor on May 17,
  2009; and
         WHEREAS, Few are privileged to be named among the elite
  corps of Eagle Scouts; only five out of every 100 Boy Scouts earn
  this distinguished honor; and
         WHEREAS, Chartered by Tarrytown United Methodist Church,
  Troop 399 is fortunate to have so many young men achieve this
  signal honor, given its rigorous standards and the demands of
  time and dedication needed to fulfill its requirements; and
         WHEREAS, These outstanding young Scouts have followed the
  principles of the Scout oath and promise and advanced from
  Tenderfoot, Second, First, Star, and Life classes to become Eagle
  Scouts; they have further completed a service project that
  required them to exercise their leadership abilities and at the
  same time benefit their community; and
         WHEREAS, The exemplary young men who have realized this
  cherished goal are Andrew W. Wiewel, James R. Thompson III,
  Bennett A. Nadeau, Peter J. Teneriello, Stephen A. King, Eli V.
  Mendoza, Andrew T. Marshall, Wilson T. Bauer, Benjamin K. Lowry,
  Jonathan O. Box, Roy G. Reyna, Samuel M. Faries, Travis B. Owens,
  Andrew M. Klitch, Santiago R. Dietche, and Cornelius J. Donovan
  II; and
         WHEREAS, These exemplary young men have brought honor to
  themselves, their families, their troop, their community, and
  their state; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 81st
  Legislature, hereby commend Troop 399 and its members who have
  demonstrated their talent and commitment by becoming Eagle
  Scouts; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
  them as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
