	CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
	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.
