By: Hancock, et al. | S.R. No. 369 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize the members of the United States armed forces who so | ||
honorably served our nation during the Vietnam War and to pay | ||
tribute to them on the occasion of Vietnam Veterans Day on March | ||
29, 2023; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Vietnam War was one of the longest military | ||
conflicts in United States history; more than three million | ||
Americans served in Southeast Asia during the war, with more than | ||
58,000 making the ultimate sacrifice, including more than 3,400 | ||
Texans; and | ||
WHEREAS, In recognition of the service and sacrifice of | ||
the thousands of Texans who served in the Vietnam War, the 79th | ||
Legislature of the State of Texas passed House Concurrent | ||
Resolution 36, which called for the construction of a monument on | ||
the Capitol grounds to pay tribute to those who took part in the | ||
conflict; the Texas Capitol Vietnam Veterans Monument was | ||
dedicated on March 29, 2014; and | ||
WHEREAS, The men and women who served the nation during the | ||
Vietnam War embodied the highest standards of courage, | ||
sacrifice, and devotion to duty, and their heroic actions set a | ||
lasting example that will live forever in the annals of American | ||
history; and | ||
WHEREAS, It is truly fitting that these brave veterans be | ||
recognized for their patriotism and their service on behalf of | ||
the nation as Texans across the state observe Vietnam Veterans | ||
Day; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend the veterans of the United States | ||
armed forces who served during the Vietnam War on their | ||
extraordinary service to their nation; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
honor of their great dedication and their sacrifice. |
