||
| WHEREAS, The Montgomery County Veterans Memorial Commission | ||
| is working to establish a new memorial park in Conroe in honor of | ||
| all veterans of the U.S. armed forces, especially those from | ||
| Montgomery County; and | ||
| WHEREAS, While the downtown area of Conroe already features a | ||
| veterans memorial park, the property is incapable of further | ||
| upgrades or expansion; the commission's desired site for the new | ||
| memorial is located on land owned by the City of Conroe and the | ||
| State of Texas, adjacent to the intersection of Interstate 45 and | ||
| State Highway 105, and the group has secured the cooperation of the | ||
| municipal and county governments for the installation; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Americans owe an immeasurable debt to the men and | ||
| women who have sacrificed so much in service to our nation, and | ||
| through its worthwhile efforts, the Montgomery County Veterans | ||
| Memorial Commission is helping to ensure that their bravery and | ||
| heroism are remembered for years to come; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the 85th Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
| hereby urge the Texas Department of Transportation, the Texas | ||
| Historical Commission, the Texas Veterans Commission, and all other | ||
| appropriate state agencies to offer full aid and support to the | ||
| Montgomery County Veterans Memorial Commission in its mission to | ||
| establish a new veterans memorial in Conroe; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Texas secretary of state forward official | ||
| copies of this resolution to the chairs of the boards and the | ||
| executive directors of the Texas Department of Transportation, the | ||
| Texas Historical Commission, and the Texas Veterans Commission as | ||
| expressions of the sentiment of the Texas Legislature. | ||
