SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 680
         WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
  join the citizens of Terrell, visiting dignitaries from Great
  Britain and Canada, and Texans across the state in celebrating
  the 70th anniversary of the Lend-Lease Act and the founding of
  the Number One British Flying Training School in Terrell; and
         WHEREAS, The Lend-Lease Act was passed in early 1941 prior
  to the United States' entry into World War II as a means for
  America to aid its allies in the struggle against Nazism; and
         WHEREAS, A section of this landmark legislation allowed
  British Royal Air Force cadets to be trained in the United States
  by civilian instructors; the first and largest of these
  facilities, the Number One British Flying Training School, was
  established in Terrell; and
         WHEREAS, Over the course of the war, more than 2,000 cadets
  were trained in Terrell, where the hospitality of local citizens
  served to create and perpetuate bonds of friendship that continue
  to this day; and
         WHEREAS, To observe this historic anniversary, the Number
  One British Flying Training School Museum in Terrell is hosting a
  celebration of this little-known facet of the history of
  British-American friendship and cooperation on April 7, 2011;
  now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
  Legislature, hereby welcome the British and Canadian Consuls
  General to our state and extend best wishes for a memorable 70th
  anniversary celebration of the Lend-Lease Act and the founding of
  the Number One British Flying Training School in Terrell; and, be
  it further
         RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
  the participants in this event as an expression of high regard
  from the Texas Senate.
