SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 352
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize Naval Air Station-Kingsville on the occasion of its
75th anniversary, which is being celebrated the weekend of June
30, 2017; and
WHEREAS, Naval Air Station-Kingsville had its beginnings
in 1942 as part of the nation's military build-up following the
attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941; and
WHEREAS, Land was purchased for the station in Kingsville
and an auxiliary air field soon opened; pilots received training
in aerial dogfighting, carrier dive bombing, and antisubmarine
warfare, along with gunnery and artillery practice; in 1969, the
auxiliary field was renamed NAS-Kingsville; and
WHEREAS, Today, NAS-Kingsville is one of the United States
Navy's top jet training facilities; it is truly fitting that this
vital military installation receive special recognition as it
reaches this milestone in its history; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
Legislature, hereby commend the officers, enlisted men and
women, and staff of Naval Air Station-Kingsville on their
commitment to the nation's defense and extend to them best wishes
for a memorable 75th anniversary celebration; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
the station as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
Lucio
