| H.R. No. 775 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, In March 2019, American Legion Peter J Courcy Post | ||
| 178 in Frisco is celebrating the fifth anniversary of its founding, | ||
| and this occasion offers a welcome opportunity to pay tribute to its | ||
| admirable work in the local area; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Since its inception, American Legion Post 178 has | ||
| dedicated itself to fostering patriotism and providing support to | ||
| current and former military service members and their families; in | ||
| keeping with this mission, the group has taken part in a number of | ||
| notable projects and initiatives in the community, with a special | ||
| emphasis on those benefiting veterans and youth; and | ||
| WHEREAS, This milestone year for the post is made all the more | ||
| special because it coincides with the 100th anniversary of its | ||
| parent organization; chartered by Congress in 1919, the American | ||
| Legion has grown into a large and influential nonprofit | ||
| organization that numbers over two million members in some 13,000 | ||
| local posts worldwide; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Americans owe an eternal debt of gratitude to those | ||
| men and women who have sacrificed so much in serving our country, | ||
| and American Legion Post 178 is indeed worthy of recognition for its | ||
| outstanding efforts to ensure that past and present members of the | ||
| armed forces receive the support and resources they so rightly | ||
| deserve; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate American Legion Peter J Courcy Post | ||
| 178 on its fifth anniversary and commend all those associated with | ||
| the group for their exemplary service to the Frisco community; 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. | ||
