men and women who have answered our nation's call to duty, and
Austin High School is indeed deserving of recognition for its
dedication to supporting military families; now, therefore, be it

Legislature hereby congratulate Austin High School on receiving the
2020-2021 Purple Star Campus Designation and extend to all those
associated with the school sincere best wishes for the future; and,
