SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 466
WHEREAS, On Memorial Day and Independence Day, Americans
celebrate the many freedoms we enjoy as citizens of this nation
and honor the sacrifices of those who have defended it; and
WHEREAS, In recognition of the importance that love of
country plays in their lives, citizens of Liberty Hill have taken
their observance one step further by instituting a Freedom Season
in the days spanning these two national holidays; during this
period, area residents decorate their community in red, white,
and blue, promote related church activities and civic events, and
commemorate the season through media and the arts; and
WHEREAS, Independence Day has also traditionally been a
time when loved ones gather for family reunions to exchange fond
memories and pay tribute to their shared heritage; likewise,
Liberty Hill residents have sought to acknowledge the bonds that
unite all citizens by encouraging participation in an American
Family Reunion, and this notable observance of patriotism and
liberty is indeed deserving of special commendation; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
Legislature, hereby recognize July 1 through July 4, 2013, as the
Texas Family Reunion and encourage all Texans to join together
for a meaningful and memorable celebration of patriotism,
freedom, and family.
