| 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, 2025, Texans across the state are | ||
| gathering to pay 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 dedication to duty, in wartime and in | ||
| peacetime, is 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 hardships of POW camps, and thousands still remain missing; | ||
| those who have returned home from war forever carry with them a | ||
| profound understanding 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 89th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commemorate Veterans Day 2025 and pay tribute to | ||
| all of this country's veterans for their courage and patriotism. | ||
