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.
