|
||
WHEREAS, The valiant military service of Hiroshi H. Miyamura | ||
is being saluted as part of the 2019 Medal of Honor Host City | ||
Weekend in Gainesville; and | ||
WHEREAS, Established in 2001, Gainesville's Medal of Honor | ||
Host City Program acknowledges the heroism and sacrifice of | ||
individuals who have earned the Medal of Honor, the nation's | ||
highest military award for valor; each year, local citizens join | ||
together to fund travel costs and other expenses to bring medal | ||
recipients to the city for a special series of events; and | ||
WHEREAS, U.S. Army Corporal Hiroshi Miyamura earned the | ||
Medal of Honor for his actions in the Korean War, when he served as a | ||
machine gun squad leader in Company H, 7th Infantry Regiment, 3rd | ||
Infantry Division; during an assault by Chinese troops on April 24, | ||
1951, he held off the enemy in hand-to-hand combat and by firing his | ||
machine gun until its ammunition was expended; he ordered his squad | ||
to withdraw, but he remained behind, helping man a second gun | ||
emplacement and covering the withdrawal of the company; during his | ||
gallant stand, he felled more than 50 of the Chinese attackers even | ||
while suffering severe wounds, and he continued to fight until his | ||
position was overrun and he was taken prisoner; he was held captive | ||
for 28 months before being released; and | ||
WHEREAS, Demonstrating extraordinary courage in the line of | ||
duty, Hiroshi Miyamura fulfilled the highest ideals of the United | ||
States armed forces, and he has earned the lasting admiration of a | ||
grateful nation; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the 86th Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
hereby pay tribute to Hiroshi H. Miyamura on the occasion of the | ||
2019 Medal of Honor Host City Weekend in Gainesville and commend him | ||
for his exemplary service in the defense of our nation; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Mr. Miyamura as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives and Senate. | ||
