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. |
