House Concurrent Resolution No. 149 seeks to posthumously award the Texas Legislative Medal of Honor to U.S. Navy SEAL Nathan Gage Ingram for his extraordinary bravery and service to the nation. Born on March 22, 1996, Ingram was a graduate of Byron Nelson High School and Texas Tech University, enlisting in the Navy in 2019.

He also received several other military honors, including the Navy "E" Ribbon and the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal. The resolution highlights Ingram's courage and dedication, emphasizing his ultimate sacrifice for his country and the impact of his loss on his family. The Texas Legislature unanimously adopted the resolution, directing the governor to confer this prestigious honor in recognition of Ingram's valor.
