	H.R. No. 468



	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those who
	have died in our nation's service, and on this day, we pause to pay
	tribute to these fallen heroes and to honor the men and women who
	have served and who are presently serving in the United States armed
	forces; and
	WHEREAS, The toll of war has been a heavy one: more than a
	half-million U.S. military personnel have died in battle, and
	approximately 1.5 million have been wounded; thousands more have
	endured extreme privation as prisoners of war, and still other
	thousands have been listed as missing in action; and
	WHEREAS, In communities across the country, monuments have
	been erected in tribute to those who have risked all in defiance of
	tyranny and in their country's defense, and these memorials are the
	physical representation of the gratitude that all Americans should
	carry in their hearts for these brave individuals; and
	WHEREAS, With U.S. troops today engaged in difficult
	operations overseas, endeavoring to secure peace and stability in
	dangerous environments, Memorial Day ceremonies once again
	resonate with profound meaning, and it is a privilege to join with
	citizens throughout the nation in paying homage to the immeasurable
	courage, commitment, and sacrifice of this country's military
	personnel; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize Memorial Day 2011 in solemn
	commemoration of those who have died and in sincere appreciation
	for the contributions of all of this country's servicemen and
	servicewomen.
