HONORING HENRY R. MUNOZ III
______
HON. CHARLES A. GONZALEZ
of texas
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, December 9, 2009
Mr. GONZALEZ. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Henry R. Munoz III, a public servant who has dedicated his professional career and philanthropic efforts to serving others, on the special occasion of his 50th birthday.
Born in San Antonio on December 14, 1959, Henry Munoz has honored us with his vision and leadership for decades, benefiting our cities, state and country. As a longtime friend, I know firsthand his track record of service to this nation and especially to the great State of Texas.
Throughout his life, Mr. Munoz has engaged in a number of different professions: entrepreneur, artist, philanthropist, and activist. From his appointments to the Texas Department of Transportation, VIA Transit, Smithsonian National Board, John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum, and many more, Mr. Munoz has dedicated his passion and efforts to raising funds for these prestigious organizations. Mr. Munoz has also raised over $5 million in student scholarships, allowing young leaders in our communities pursue their dreams through higher education.
Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Henry Munoz III as we celebrate his 50th birthday, a life highlighted by decades of community service, philanthropy, and leadership.
