R E S O L U T I O N

WHEREAS, John Thomas Thrash of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 157 in Lubbock 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. Thrash earned the requisite 21 merit badges and successfully completed an Eagle Scout project, which included distributing backpacks filled with essential items to homeless individuals; and

WHEREAS, The son of Howard and Julie Thrash, this fine young Texan has also been active in his community of faith, attending mission trips and youth activities with First United Methodist Church; while at Lubbock High School, he participated in band, tennis, and golf, and he completed the MS 150 bike race two years in a row; now a freshman at Texas Tech University, he is studying business and enjoying the outdoors by skiing, hunting, and fly-fishing when he has the opportunity; and

WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Thrash'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 84th Texas Legislature hereby congratulate John Thomas Thrash on attaining 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 Eagle Scout Thrash as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
