The resolution expresses the Texas Senate's congratulations to Mr. Presson for his exemplary service during the Korean War and extends best wishes for his future. It also acknowledges his long-standing marriage to his wife, Bonita, and his active participation in the Arabella Military Veterans Group at the Arabella of Longview Senior Living Center.
