H.R. No. 2334 |
|
||
WHEREAS, America's military veterans hold a revered place in | ||
the history of this country and in the hearts of its people, and on | ||
Veterans Day, November 11, 2024, Texans across the state are | ||
gathering to pay grateful tribute to these selfless men and women; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Originally celebrated as Armistice Day, in | ||
recognition of the day the guns of World War I fell silent, Veterans | ||
Day now honors all who have performed military service in this | ||
country's behalf; their invincible spirit and dedication to duty, | ||
in wartime and in peacetime, are deserving of their fellow | ||
citizens' deepest appreciation and gratitude; and | ||
WHEREAS, Service in the armed forces demands much of the men | ||
and women who undertake it, and the burdens assumed can be great; of | ||
the legions who have answered their country's call, millions have | ||
died or been wounded during wartime, countless others have endured | ||
the privations and hardships of POW camps, and thousands still | ||
remain missing; those who have returned home from war have forever | ||
carried with them an indelible knowledge of loss and sacrifice; and | ||
WHEREAS, To all these men and women, Americans owe a debt that | ||
the passage of time can never diminish; it is a debt that calls us to | ||
recognize their valiant service and to honor, in deeds as well as | ||
words, those high ideals that represent the very best of this | ||
nation's heritage; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate Veterans Day 2024 and honor all of | ||
this country's veterans for their steadfast courage, commitment, | ||
and patriotism. | ||
