pride on a job well done; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature hereby commend Ava Barton on her "Honor the Flag"
project and extend to her sincere best wishes for the future; and,
be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
