| H.R. No. 1700 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The observance of Father's Day on June 18, 2023, | ||
| provides a welcome opportunity for all Texans to express their | ||
| gratitude to the fathers and father figures who have enriched their | ||
| lives and shaped their characters; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Father's Day was officially recognized in 1966, when | ||
| President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential | ||
| proclamation honoring fathers and designating the third Sunday in | ||
| June as Father's Day; it became a permanent national holiday in | ||
| 1972, when President Richard Nixon signed it into law; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Fathers serve as role models, protectors, | ||
| providers, and friends; above all, they strive to instill in their | ||
| children enduring values and a sure sense of right and wrong; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Being a good father means providing the structure, | ||
| guidance, and love that children need to flourish, and on Father's | ||
| Day, we honor those who have stepped forward and taken on this | ||
| challenging yet rewarding responsibility; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commemorate Father's Day 2023 and pay tribute to | ||
| the caring men who have dedicated their lives to building strong | ||
| families and to inspiring their children to reach their full | ||
| potential. | ||
