| H.R. No. 161 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The Fabens Veterans Park Committee is cohosting the | ||
| Veterans Celebration at Fabens Veterans Park on November 10, 2023; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, In addition to the Veterans Park Committee, the | ||
| Fabens Veterans Celebration is also being hosted by the Fabens High | ||
| School Student Council; the event will recognize local veterans for | ||
| their courageous service and will feature keynote speaker Colonel | ||
| Kirby "Bo" Dennis; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Originally celebrated as Armistice Day in | ||
| recognition of the end of World War I, Veterans Day now honors all | ||
| who have served in the armed forces, including the former members of | ||
| the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, Coast | ||
| Guard, and National Guard; generations of Texans have been inspired | ||
| by a deep sense of patriotism and answered their nation's call to | ||
| duty, and it is indeed appropriate that we reflect on all that has | ||
| been asked of those who have served and on the immeasurable | ||
| fortitude and valor with which they have met the challenges before | ||
| them; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commemorate the 2023 Fabens | ||
| Veterans Celebration and honor the members of the Fabens Veterans | ||
| Park Committee for their contributions to this noteworthy event; | ||
| and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the Fabens Veterans Park Committee as an expression of | ||
| high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
| González of El Paso | ||
