| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize military veterans who have returned to school to | ||
| continue their education so that they may better serve as a force | ||
| for prosperity and progress in our state and nation; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The men and women who have served our state and | ||
| nation in the active military, the National Guard, and the | ||
| reserve forces have played an integral part in building and | ||
| maintaining today's society; in addition to protecting the | ||
| nation's ideals and security at outposts around the world, they | ||
| contribute to public safety through their work in helping people | ||
| deal with the ravages of hurricanes, fires, and other natural | ||
| disasters and emergencies; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The State of Texas is working to aid these | ||
| veterans as they reenter civilian society with such efforts as | ||
| the Hazelwood Legacy Act, which endeavors to provide an education | ||
| to veterans and their families, and through its support and | ||
| promotion of the federal government's Post-9/11 G.I. Bill; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Institutions of higher education across the | ||
| state, including the Alamo Colleges, Central Texas College, | ||
| Houston Community College, Lee College, Lone Star College, San | ||
| Jacinto College, and Temple College, are initiating programs to | ||
| help veterans receive college credit that reflects their | ||
| experiences and counts toward degree or certificate programs | ||
| that can help in their transition to the civilian job market; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Although these veterans represent many different | ||
| hometowns and backgrounds, they are united by their deep and | ||
| abiding love for our state and nation, and it is truly fitting | ||
| that the people of Texas do all they can to help them as they | ||
| rejoin the society they have done so much to protect; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend the student veterans of Texas for | ||
| their courage and determination and extend to them best wishes | ||
| for continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
| their honor as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
