SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 68
         WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
  recognize Dr. William Lawhorn on his dedicated service to the
  people of Texas and to the United States; and
 
         WHEREAS, Bill Lawhorn is a distinguished veteran of World
  War II who is beloved and respected by the members of his
  community, and his strength and valor have been a source of
  inspiration to his family and friends; and
 
         WHEREAS, Bill was a student at Rockwall High School during
  the years of the Second World War; endowed with a patriotic
  spirit and a love of country, he dreamed of becoming a pilot in
  the United States military, and in 1944, he enlisted in the
  United States Army Air Corps; and
 
         WHEREAS, A man of courage and integrity, Bill was esteemed
  by his fellow service members for his uncompromising work ethic

  of only eight who were chosen to remain in the air corps; and
 
         WHEREAS, Throughout his time in the military, Bill served
  his countrymen and fellow soldiers with honor and distinction; at

  contributions to our state and nation; now, therefore, be it
 
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
  Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby recognize Dr. William
  Lawhorn as a treasured Texan and extend to him sincere gratitude
  for his service and best wishes for the future; and, be it further
