H.R. No. 2575 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Every year on July 4, Americans join together to | ||
commemorate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence by the | ||
founding fathers of this great nation; and | ||
WHEREAS, Fourth of July gatherings are a beloved American | ||
tradition, when individuals across the United States pause to | ||
remember the countless struggles and triumphs of those who worked | ||
to build a government of the people, by the people, and for the | ||
people; these celebrations bring together citizens of many | ||
different backgrounds who all take pride in the American identity, | ||
one embodying cherished ideals of freedom and equality; and | ||
WHEREAS, From the colonial militias who carried muskets into | ||
battle to the heroic men and women who serve in the U.S. armed | ||
forces today, our military personnel have made incalculable | ||
sacrifices in order to secure the dream envisioned by the nation's | ||
founders; we owe a profound debt of gratitude to our troops for | ||
their selfless and courageous service, as well as to their families | ||
for all they have endured, and on this special day we extend our | ||
heartfelt appreciation to all those in uniform and to their loved | ||
ones; and | ||
WHEREAS, When the delegates to the Continental Congress made | ||
their famous declaration in 1776, they laid the foundation for a | ||
republic dedicated to the cause of just self-governance and charted | ||
a bold new course for the land they called home; as Texans gather to | ||
celebrate Independence Day 2018, we will pledge anew to uphold the | ||
solemn promise of freedom that has defined this country since its | ||
birth and to treasure the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit | ||
of happiness that we all share; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate the Fourth of July, 2018. | ||
