HR2874 is a memorial resolution recognizing the life and contributions of William C. 'Dub' McCarty, a respected civic leader from Athens, Texas. The resolution highlights McCarty's many accomplishments, including his service in the United States Army during the Korean War, his successful career in retail and insurance, and his active participation in local organizations such as the Kiwanis Club, Rotary Club, and Boy Scouts.

As a resolution commemorating an individual's life rather than a legislative action affecting laws directly, HR2874 does not present points of contention in the traditional legislative sense.

Such memorials prompt reflection on community values and the measures we take to honor those who serve.
