H.R. No. 1373

R E S O L U T I O N

WHEREAS, U.S. Army Master Sergeant (Ret.) Lawrence

Fitzpatrick of Clint served his country with great honor and

distinction as a member of the armed forces, and the occasion of

Memorial Day on May 26, 2025, provides a fitting opportunity to

posthumously honor him for his dedicated military career; and

WHEREAS, On Memorial Day each May, citizens across our state

and nation come together for a day of solemn remembrance of those

servicemen and servicewomen who so valiantly served their country

and who gave their lives in the line of duty; each of these

individuals made the noble decision to place country before self,

and their sacrifice echoes through generations; their absence

leaves a void that can never be fully filled, but their legacy is

etched forever into the soul of our nation; and

WHEREAS, Master Sergeant Fitzpatrick proudly served with the

U.S. Army in the Vietnam War; and

WHEREAS, Demonstrating the utmost dedication and bravery

during his years in uniform, Lawrence Fitzpatrick upheld the

highest ideals of the United States armed forces, and his fellow

citizens owe him a lasting debt of gratitude; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas

Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life and service of U.S. Army

Master Sergeant (Ret.) Lawrence Fitzpatrick; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be

prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of

Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Lawrence

Fitzpatrick.
