In memory of U.S. Army Captain Curtis Wayne Fitzgerald of Palestine.
This is a memorial resolution (HR 229), not a substantive bill. It honors U.S. Army Captain Curtis Wayne Fitzgerald, a Vietnam War veteran from Palestine, Texas, who died on February 4, 2025. The resolution commemorates his military service - including combat flights in Vietnam, multiple awards like the Silver Star, and his post-military community work - and extends condolences to his family. It has no policy impact or funding provisions; it is purely ceremonial, as reflected in its adoption by the Texas House of Representatives on February 12, 2025.
