H.R. No. 1290 |
|
||
WHEREAS, On Memorial Day and Independence Day, Americans | ||
celebrate the many freedoms we enjoy as citizens of this nation and | ||
honor the sacrifices of those who have defended it; and | ||
WHEREAS, In recognition of the importance that love of | ||
country plays in their lives, citizens of Liberty Hill have taken | ||
their observance one step further by instituting a Freedom Season | ||
in the days spanning these two national holidays; during this | ||
period, area residents decorate their community in red, white, and | ||
blue, promote related church activities and civic events, and | ||
commemorate the season through media and the arts; and | ||
WHEREAS, Independence Day has also traditionally been a time | ||
when loved ones gather for family reunions to exchange fond | ||
memories and pay tribute to their shared heritage; likewise, | ||
Liberty Hill residents have sought to acknowledge the bonds that | ||
unite all citizens by encouraging participation in an American | ||
Family Reunion, and this notable observance of patriotism and | ||
liberty is indeed deserving of special commendation; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby recognize July 1 through July 4, 2013, as the | ||
Texas Family Reunion and encourage all Texans to join together for a | ||
meaningful and memorable celebration of patriotism, freedom, and | ||
family. | ||
