No. 4189 has planned and implemented a project entitled "Honor the | ||
Flag" for the Girl Scout Silver Award; and | ||
WHEREAS, A resident of Lumberton, Ms. Barton initiated the | ||
project to help provide her community with a designated place for | ||

design that features state and national symbols such as the Texas | ||
and U.S. flags, an armadillo, and a bald eagle, as well as the image | ||
of an American soldier; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ms. Barton is the daughter of Myia and David Barton; | ||
a student at Lumberton Middle School, she has participated in Girl | ||
Scouts since the first grade; she also enjoys taking tae kwon do | ||
classes, and she is a member of Praise Church in Beaumont; and | ||
WHEREAS, The leadership and dedication that Ava Barton has | ||
demonstrated in completing her project exemplify the highest ideals | ||
of the Girl Scouts organization, and she may indeed reflect with | ||
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 | ||
prepared for Ms. Barton as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
