program, Ms. Hutchison recently participated in a research
fellowship at the San Antonio Military Medical Center at Fort Sam

raise awareness of this life-threatening condition while aiding the
medical community in safeguarding the health of the brave men and
women who defend this nation; and

university, and she may indeed take justifiable pride in her

all of her endeavors; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
