WHEREAS, Michael Andrew "Andy" Day of Boy Scouts of America |
|
|
Troop No. 44 in Van Alstyne has achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, |
|
|
and this accomplishment truly merits special recognition; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, 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. Day earned the requisite 21 merit badges and successfully |
|
|
completed an Eagle Scout project, which involved installing |
|
|
practice pitching mounds and safety fences for the Little League |
|
|
baseball fields at Dorothy Fielder Park in Van Alstyne; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The son of Sue Day and Mike Day, this fine young |
|
|
Texan has demonstrated outstanding leadership ability throughout |
|
|
his scouting career, winning the respect and admiration of his |
|
|
fellow troop members as he worked toward the highest rank that the |
|
|
organization offers; a senior at Van Alstyne High School, he has |
|
|
participated in the school marching band, and he is also an active |
|
|
member of King's Trail Cowboy Church; following graduation, he |
|
|
plans to join the military before continuing his education; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Day'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 86th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Michael Andrew Day 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 Mr. Day as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
