MINOR

The bill was renumbered from HR 5 to House Resolution 5 and updated with official legislative session headers. The substantive content remains a commendation for Major David Gist's retirement, though the text was reformatted and some characters were corrupted during the transition, likely due to encoding issues.

TECHNICAL

The document title was changed from 'H. R. No. 5' to 'House Resolution 5' and updated with current session metadata.

The text body was reformatted from a multi-line layout to a continuous block, resulting in some character corruption (e.g., 'W�rzburg' instead of 'W�rzburg').
