WHEREAS, Two and a half centuries ago, in 1761, the first | ||

to the improvement of animal, public, and environmental health and | ||
play an important role in food safety, biosecurity, and | ||
conservation; and | ||
WHEREAS, Texas A&M University is home to the College of | ||
Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, the only college of | ||
veterinary medicine in the State of Texas, and its faculty, staff, | ||

positive impact they make in the areas of teaching, research, and | ||
service; and | ||
WHEREAS, Practitioners of veterinary medicine play a vital | ||
role in the lives of countless animals and their owners, as well as | ||
the wider public, and they may indeed reflect with pride on the | ||

now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby honor the Texas A&M College of Veterinary | ||
