	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
	and dedication to duty; a shining example to others, he upheld
	the highest standards of the United States Army Air Corps, and
	when his squadron of 125 soldiers was disassembled, Bill was one
	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
	the age of 97, Dr. Lawhorn has lived a remarkable life, and it is
	truly fitting that he receive special recognition on his many
	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

	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
	him as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
