	H.R. No. 2004



	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, On June 14, 2021, the military community of El Paso
	is celebrating the 246th birthday of the United States Army, and
	this occasion offers a fitting opportunity for all Texans to pay
	tribute to the proud history of the original branch of our nation's
	armed forces; and
	WHEREAS, On June 14, 1775, two months after the start of the
	Revolutionary War, the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia
	established the Continental Army and created an oath of enlistment
	for its soldiers; the following day, the Congress appointed George
	Washington to "command all the Continental forces" and to lay the
	foundation for "the American army"; and
	WHEREAS, Since then, whenever the nation has needed it, the
	U.S. Army has answered the call, rising to every challenge, be it a
	foreign or domestic threat, a natural or man-made disaster, or a
	public health crisis; and
	WHEREAS, The men and women of the army serve our nation with
	dignity and honor; in addition to their dedication as soldiers,
	they bring to their service skills as doctors and nurses, public
	health experts, scientists and researchers, and coders and
	engineers; and
	WHEREAS, The responsibility to defend our nation requires
	universal commitment to army values, especially among its leaders;
	these include treating everyone with respect, working and fighting
	as one team, and always doing what's right; and
	WHEREAS, For nearly two and a half centuries, the U.S. Army
	has served as the foundation of our nation's defense, and all
	veterans and currently serving members of the army, as well as their
	families and the army's civilian employees, deserve the gratitude
	of every Texan; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
	Legislature hereby commemorate the 246th anniversary of the
	founding of the U.S. Army and extend to all our brave men and women
	in uniform sincere best wishes for continued success in their vital
	mission.

	González of El Paso
