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. |
