WHEREAS, Members of Veterans of Foreign Wars Lackland | ||
Memorial Post 9174 of San Antonio are celebrating its 50th | ||
anniversary on February 10, 2011; and | ||
WHEREAS, Founded by Woodrow Willis and chartered in 1961, | ||
this post began with 75 members and now numbers approximately 500; | ||
its hall has always been located in South San Antonio, in the | ||
vicinity of Lackland Air Force Base; and | ||
WHEREAS, Since its inception, the post has consistently | ||
embraced the vision of the VFW, advocating for veterans and their | ||
families, serving the community, and promoting patriotism; in | ||
carrying out the VFW's mission, members of the post have devoted | ||
innumerable hours to community service and to raising money for | ||
charitable causes; their achievements and commitment to VFW | ||
programs have earned them distinction twice as an All American Post | ||
and three times as an All State Post; and | ||
WHEREAS, For five decades, VFW Lackland Memorial Post 9174 | ||
has sought to ensure that veterans and their families receive the | ||
recognition they have earned for their immeasurable service and | ||
sacrifice in this country's behalf, and it is fitting that, on this | ||
special milestone, the post be honored for its outstanding | ||
contributions; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding | ||
of VFW Lackland Memorial Post 9174 and commend its members for their | ||
exceptional service to their fellow veterans; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the post as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. |
