WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
join citizens across the state in celebrating September 30, 2017, | ||
as Czech Heritage Day in Texas; and | ||
WHEREAS, Many people in Texas trace their roots to the | ||
Czech Republic; once known as Bohemia, the Czech Republic is home | ||
to a proud people who have fought valiantly through the years to | ||
preserve their culture and values; and | ||
WHEREAS, Texas has more people of Czech descent than any | ||
other state in the union, and there are a number of these citizens | ||
who continue to speak the distinctive Texas Czech dialect; and | ||
WHEREAS, Texans of Czech descent take great pleasure in | ||
sharing their culture with their fellow Texans at such events as | ||
the Kolache Fest in Halletsville; it is truly fitting that a day | ||
be set aside to celebrate their heritage and many achievements; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend the Texans of Czech ancestry for | ||
their many contributions to our state and extend to all best | ||
wishes for a memorable Czech Heritage Day; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
honor of this special occasion. | ||
