WHEREAS, The Montgomery County Veterans Memorial Commission | ||
is working to establish a new memorial park in Conroe in honor of | ||
all veterans of the United States 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 commissions 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. |
