| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| honor Margaret and Gerald D. "Griff" Griffith on the occasion of | ||
| their 66th wedding anniversary, on February 22, 2013; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The story of this remarkable couple is a tribute | ||
| to the abiding nature of true love; Margaret and Gerald were high | ||
| school sweethearts, but fate intervened when he was drafted in | ||
| 1943; the pair never lost heart, however; they married on | ||
| February 22, 1947, and together they raised three children; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Griff became an accomplished airman and dedicated | ||
| 30 years of his life to the United States air force; he served | ||
| multiple tours of duty and flew missions in World War II, the | ||
| Berlin Airlift, Korea, and Vietnam; Margaret was ideally suited | ||
| to the military lifestyle; she appreciated travel and foreign | ||
| cultures, and she graciously met the challenges of regular | ||
| relocation; and | ||
| WHEREAS, After Griff retired from the air force, the couple | ||
| moved to Mansfield, Texas, and Griff taught high school in Grand | ||
| Prairie for the next 20 years; after a second retirement, Mr. and | ||
| Mrs. Griffith revived their passion for adventure, and in recent | ||
| years, they have enjoyed traveling throughout the United States | ||
| and Europe; and | ||
| WHEREAS, This dedicated couple has shared and continues to | ||
| share a rich life and an enduring love; their commitment to each | ||
| other and to their family is inspiring and deserves | ||
| acknowledgement and praise; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
| their honor and as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
