| H.C.R. No. 112 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The valiant military service of Robert R. Ingram 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, Petty Officer Ingram served in the United States | ||
| Navy as a corpsman with Company C, 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st | ||
| Marine Division during the Vietnam War; on March 28, 1966, his | ||
| platoon was attacked by the North Vietnamese in Quang Ngai | ||
| Province; without regard for his personal safety, he crawled across | ||
| a fire-swept, bullet-spattered landscape to administer aid to the | ||
| wounded and collect ammunition from the dead; he was shot four times | ||
| that day, and despite being critically injured, he pushed, pulled, | ||
| consoled, and doctored his marines, single-handedly saving many | ||
| lives while risking his own; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Demonstrating extraordinary courage in the line of | ||
| duty, Robert Ingram 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 Robert R. Ingram 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. Ingram as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives and Senate. | ||
