| H.R. No. 2057 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Area residents are gathering at Sugar Land Memorial | ||
| Park on Memorial Day 2011 to pay tribute to those who have given | ||
| their lives in service to the United States of America; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In a tradition dating back more than a century, the | ||
| last Monday in May of each year is set aside as a time to demonstrate | ||
| our respect and admiration for the United States armed forces and to | ||
| remember the legions of the fallen; this occasion resonates with | ||
| special meaning at a time when many of our sons and daughters and | ||
| husbands and wives are currently engaged in conflicts in distant | ||
| lands; countless servicemen and servicewomen have experienced the | ||
| loss of a fellow American firsthand, and all our service members and | ||
| their families understand the true meaning of sacrifice; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Our state and nation are fortunate to have many | ||
| individuals whose love of country leads them to military service, | ||
| and on Memorial Day communities encourage their citizens to show | ||
| their unwavering support; at its ceremony, the city of Sugar Land is | ||
| providing patriotic postcards on which participants can express | ||
| their good wishes to those serving around the world; and | ||
| WHEREAS, While the heroes who risk their lives defending our | ||
| freedom and values are constantly in the thoughts of the loved ones | ||
| who eagerly await their safe return, the observance of Memorial Day | ||
| represents a very special opportunity for all citizens to unite in a | ||
| spirit of gratitude and remembrance, solemnly reflecting on a debt | ||
| that can never be repaid; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commemorate the 2011 Memorial Day ceremony in | ||
| Sugar Land and extend to all the members of the nation's armed | ||
| forces deep appreciation for their courageous efforts in our | ||
| country's behalf. | ||
