The resolution honors the life and legacy of Audon Sanchez Cardenas, a distinguished World War II veteran who passed away on January 31, 2025, at the age of 105. Born on July 30, 1919, in Devine, Texas, to Donaciano and Cecilia Cardenas, he was a first-generation American and grew up with six siblings. Cardenas served in the U.S. Army during World War II, where he was promoted to staff sergeant and squad leader. He was captured by German forces and held as a prisoner of war until his liberation during the Battle of the Bulge. His bravery earned him several honors, including the American Defense Service Medal and the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal. After the war, he worked as a barber at Lackland Air Force Base and became certified in auto mechanics.

The resolution expresses condolences to Cardenas's family, including his sister, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, acknowledging the deep respect and admiration he garnered from those who knew him. It concludes with a directive for an official copy of the resolution to be prepared for his family and states that the Texas House of Representatives will adjourn in his memory.
