This concurrent resolution directs the governor of Texas to posthumously award the Texas Legislative Medal of Honor to U.S. Navy SEAL Nathan Gage Ingram of Roanoke, recognizing his extraordinary heroism and sacrifice during a military operation on January 11, 2024. The resolution highlights Ingram's background as a 27-year-old Navy SEAL who graduated from Texas Tech University and enlisted in 2019, reaching the rank of Special Warfare Operator Petty Officer 2nd Class. During a dangerous nighttime maritime mission off the coast of Somalia, Ingram heroically attempted to rescue a fellow SEAL who had fallen overboard, ultimately losing his own life in the process. The resolution emphasizes his posthumous promotion to Special Warfare Operator First Class and previous military honors, including the Navy and Marine Corps Medal, and portrays him as a young man of uncommon courage who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to his nation. By recommending the Texas Legislative Medal of Honor, the resolution seeks to formally recognize Ingram's bravery and commitment to military service.
