	various projects for the Pentagon; he received a number of
	commendations for his work with the Department of Defense,
	including the prestigious Legion of Merit award; and
	WHEREAS, Following his retirement, Mr. Harrison moved back
	to Texas and became a prominent civic leader, assuming a number of

	active member of the San Augustine Historical Society; in
	recognition of his outstanding service to his fellow citizens, he
	was named the 2012 Community Impact Volunteer of the Year for East
	Texas; and
	WHEREAS, In his spare time, Mr. Harrison pursued his passion
	for the performing arts, entertaining audiences at community
	theaters and at military venues around the world; he was a talented
	guitar player and vocalist and performed with a number of musical
	groups, from his high school rock-and-roll band to barbershop
	quartets; and
	WHEREAS, While Woody Harrison is deeply missed by all those
	who were privileged to know him, his legacy lives on in the
	community he was proud to call home; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
