CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, The Montgomery County Veterans Memorial Commission
is working to establish a new memorial park in Conroe in honor of
all veterans of the U.S. armed forces, especially those from
Montgomery County; and
WHEREAS, While the downtown area of Conroe already features a
veterans memorial park, the property is incapable of further
upgrades or expansion; the commission's desired site for the new
memorial is located on land owned by the City of Conroe and the
State of Texas, adjacent to the intersection of Interstate 45 and
State Highway 105, and the group has secured the cooperation of the
municipal and county governments for the installation; and
WHEREAS, Americans owe an immeasurable debt to the men and
women who have sacrificed so much in service to our nation, and
through its worthwhile efforts, the Montgomery County Veterans
Memorial Commission is helping to ensure that their bravery and
heroism are remembered for years to come; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the 85th Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby urge the Texas Department of Transportation, the Texas
Historical Commission, the Texas Veterans Commission, and all other
appropriate state agencies to offer full aid and support to the
Montgomery County Veterans Memorial Commission in its mission to
establish a new veterans memorial in Conroe; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That the Texas secretary of state forward official
copies of this resolution to the chairs of the boards and the
executive directors of the Texas Department of Transportation, the
Texas Historical Commission, and the Texas Veterans Commission as
expressions of the sentiment of the Texas Legislature.
