	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 439
	WHEREAS, On March 29, 2014, Vietnam Veterans Day,
	citizens, veterans, and Texas leaders gathered on the Capitol
	grounds for the dedication of the Texas Capitol Vietnam Veterans
	Monument; and

	WHEREAS, The monument stands as a permanent tribute to the
	service and sacrifice of the thousands of Texans who took part in
	the Vietnam War; more than 3,400 brave servicemen from Texas made
	the ultimate sacrifice in the war, and 105 Texans remain missing
	in action today; seventeen Texas heroes earned the Congressional
	Medal of Honor for their distinguished service during the
	conflict; and

	WHEREAS, Construction of the monument was authorized by
	the passage of House Concurrent Resolution 36 during the 79th
	Legislative Session, and the project was completed through the
	diligent work of the Texas Capitol Vietnam Veterans Monument
	Committee; and

	WHEREAS, The monument sits in the dappled shade of the
	Capitol's northeast lawn, where visitors can reflect on and honor
	every Texan who courageously served during one of the longest
	wars in American history; now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
	Legislature, hereby commend all who contributed to the planning
	of the Texas Capitol Vietnam Veterans Monument and organized its
	dedication one year ago and pay tribute to the patriotic sons and
	daughters of the Lone Star State who served in the Vietnam War;
	and, be it further

	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared as a
	memento of this one-year anniversary.

	Hinojosa
