| WHEREAS, Texas and the nation owe an immeasurable debt to the | ||
| men and women of our armed forces, who have helped to secure and | ||
| preserve our democratic freedoms; and | ||
| WHEREAS, On Veterans Day, employers should seek to honor the | ||
| service and sacrifice of veterans in their employment by allowing | ||
| them flexibility in celebrating this important day; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Veterans of the U.S. armed forces have demonstrated | ||
| their bravery and patriotism by answering their nation’s call to | ||
| duty, stepping forward to serve in many different capacities and | ||
| locations, often placing themselves in harm’s way to safeguard our | ||
| liberty and security; today, they continue to make valuable | ||
| contributions as involved members of their communities, and they | ||
| are deserving of our profound respect and gratitude; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the 87th Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
| hereby encourage employers to look for ways to honor veterans on | ||
| Veterans Day, including allowing veterans a day off in appreciation | ||
| for their service. | ||
