H.R. No. 902

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, On April 13, 2019, members of the American Legion in
the Angleton area are gathering to commemorate two special
milestones: the 100th anniversary of the national organization and
the 90th anniversary of the Charles Dixon Post No. 241; and
WHEREAS, Founded on March 15, 1919, the American Legion is
the nation's largest wartime veterans service organization; it is
dedicated to supporting and paying tribute to those who have taken
up arms to defend our freedoms, and it carries out a range of
programs to assist former and current members of the military and
their families; in addition, the group places a strong emphasis on
mentoring youth, strengthening communities, and advocating
patriotism and honor; its current membership exceeds more than two
million people, and they have collectively contributed over 3.7
million hours of volunteer service and provided assistance on more
than 181,000 VA benefits claims and cases; and
WHEREAS, One of over 12,000 local posts worldwide, the
American Legion Charles Dixon Post No. 241 was named after Charley
Sam Dixon, who served in the American Expeditionary Forces during
World War I; the post received its charter on July 8, 1929, and was
made up of 48 members at its inception; for the better part of a
century, it has worked diligently to further the goals and advance
the mission of its parent organization; today, the post is as vital
as ever, having nearly doubled its membership over the past 10
years, and its emphasis on addressing the needs of local residents
has made a difference in hundreds of lives; and
WHEREAS, The members of the Charles Dixon Post No. 241 have
distinguished themselves by contributing to the exceptional legacy
that the American Legion has built over the past 100 years, and they
are performing a noble service through their ongoing efforts to
benefit their community and all those who have valiantly and
faithfully served our nation in the armed forces; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the 100th anniversary of the
American Legion and the 90th anniversary of the American Legion
Charles Dixon Post No. 241 in Angleton and extend to the post's
members sincere best wishes for continued success with their
important work; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the post as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
