WHEREAS, The promise of democracy has been preserved by the | ||
hundreds of thousands of Americans who have fought and died for | ||
our freedoms, and the Duncanville community has lost many in the | ||
endeavor to protect the ideals that our nation holds dear; over | ||
the years, residents have honored those who made the ultimate | ||
sacrifice with the installation of two memorial monuments; and | ||
WHEREAS, The city established the first Duncanville War | ||
Memorial 100 years ago, in 1919, when the devastation of World | ||
War I weighed heavy on the hearts of all Americans; the community | ||
again paid tribute to local patriots in 1969 with the | ||
construction of a second war memorial, this one at the corner of | ||
Main Street and Center Street; an eternal flame has been burning | ||
at that site since the monument's installation half a century | ||
ago; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Duncanville War Memorials remind the | ||
residents of Duncanville each day to honor those who put their | ||
lives on the line to ensure the continued safety and prosperity | ||
of the nation; it is indeed fitting that the community will | ||
celebrate the 100th anniversary and the 50th anniversary of the | ||
Duncanville War Memorials on Memorial Day in 2019; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend the citizens of Duncanville for | ||
their efforts to honor those who lost their lives in service to | ||
their country and extend to them best wishes for a meaningful | ||
Memorial Day event; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
the city as a memento of this important day. | ||
