||
WHEREAS, The 75th annual American GI Forum of Texas State | ||
Conference is taking place in Corpus Christi from June 19 through | ||
22, 2023; and | ||
WHEREAS, Hosted by the AGIF Beatrice T. Perez Robstown | ||
Women's Chapter, the conference benefits veterans by bringing them | ||
in contact with local and state elected officials and by providing | ||
opportunities to network with business leaders and to share | ||
information on a range of subjects; the conference's Historic | ||
Grand Luncheon Celebration is honoring the members of the Nueces | ||
County Commissioners Court as well as Le Roy and Rosie Torres, the | ||
founders of the Burn Pits 360 organization, who have been nominated | ||
for the Presidential Medal of Freedom; and | ||
WHEREAS, The American GI Forum was founded on March 26, 1948, | ||
by Dr. Hector Perez Garcia, who served as a U.S. Army medical doctor | ||
during World War II; the largest federally chartered Hispanic | ||
veterans organization in the U.S., AGIF offers support and services | ||
to all military veterans and their families, and it plays a | ||
prominent role in communities across the U.S. and in Puerto Rico; | ||
chief among its efforts, the organization addresses the | ||
discrimination and inequities experienced by Hispanic veterans; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, For seven and a half decades, the members of the | ||
American GI Forum of Texas have worked tirelessly in behalf of | ||
former military service members and their loved ones, and the | ||
organization's contributions are indeed deserving of special | ||
recognition; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate the 2023 American GI Forum of Texas | ||
State Conference and extend to all those in attendance sincere best | ||
wishes for a meaningful and productive event; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the American GI Forum of Texas as an expression of high | ||
regard by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
