| WHEREAS, The year 2023 marks the 25th anniversary of the | ||
| Greater Dallas Veterans Day Parade, which is being held in Dallas | ||
| on November 9; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Since 1998, the Greater Dallas Veterans Day | ||
| Parade has been supported by the Greater Dallas Veterans | ||
| Foundation; one of the nation's largest Veterans Day parades with | ||
| more than 5,000 participants, the event commemorates the signing | ||
| of the Armistice at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th | ||
| month of 1918, thereby ending World War I; November 11 became | ||
| known as Armistice Day and was eventually made a legal holiday, | ||
| and in 1954, it was renamed Veterans Day to honor all who have | ||
| performed military service in our country's behalf; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Beginning at the City Hall Plaza in downtown | ||
| Dallas, the parade will feature speeches and appearances by | ||
| dignitaries and military leaders and include the traditional | ||
| Eleventh Hour Ceremony, a symbolic wreath laying, the playing of | ||
| taps, and a military flyover in the missing man formation; | ||
| moreover, individuals representing the branches of the U.S. | ||
| armed forces will take the oath of enlistment; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Americans owe a profound debt of gratitude to the | ||
| men and women who have put their lives on the line in defense of | ||
| our safety and freedom, and the Greater Dallas Veterans Day | ||
| Parade is a fitting tribute to their sacrifice and dedication to | ||
| duty; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
| Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commemorate the 25th | ||
| anniversary of the Greater Dallas Veterans Day Parade and extend to | ||
| all those attending the event sincere best wishes for a meaningful | ||
| and memorable experience; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
| prepared for the Greater Dallas Veterans Foundation as an | ||
| expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. | ||
