H.R. No. 2058
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, On Memorial Day 2011, area residents are gathering
in Fulshear to demonstrate their profound respect and admiration
for the United States armed forces at Fort Bend Salutes America; and
WHEREAS, This patriotic event honors past and present members
of our nation's military, and it encourages citizens to support
those who are currently serving abroad through donations of needed
items to the Houston Marine Moms; and
WHEREAS, In a tradition dating back more than a century, the
last Monday of May each year is set aside as a time to remember the
contributions of the men and women who have stepped forward to serve
their country; this occasion resonates with special meaning in an
era that finds our nation engaged in conflicts on other shores; many
of today's warriors know what it means to lose a friend too soon,
and all of our service members and their families understand the
true meaning of sacrifice; and
WHEREAS, While the heroes who risk their lives defending our
freedom and values are in our thoughts each day, the observance of
Memorial Day represents a very special opportunity to unite in a
spirit of gratitude and remembrance and to solemnly reflect on a
debt that can never be repaid; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the Fort Bend Salutes America
Memorial Day event and extend to all the members of the nation's
armed services deep appreciation for their courageous efforts in
our country's behalf.
