In memory of Edward Greer of El Paso.
This is a commemorative resolution (SR 128), not a substantive bill. It honors the late Major General (Ret.) Edward Greer of El Paso, recognizing his military service, historic promotion as one of the first African American officers to reach brigadier general, and legacy. The resolution pays tribute to his 30-year career in the U.S. Army (including WWII, Korea, and Vietnam), his awards, and his post-military life in El Paso. It extends sympathy to his family and directs the Texas Senate to adjourn in his memory.
