SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 757
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the veterans who protected our nation's freedom in
World War II; and
WHEREAS, These men and women are known collectively as the
Greatest Generation; whether wading ashore at Normandy, battling
on the sands of Iwo Jima, or flying in the skies over Germany and
the South Pacific, these brave individuals faced aggression and
evil with courage and determination; and
WHEREAS, Their legacy of heroism and valor continues to
serve as an inspiration to succeeding generations of Americans;
their selfless devotion and strength have left an enduring mark
on the world; and
WHEREAS, It is truly fitting that all Texans reaffirm their
gratitude to those true patriots who fought so bravely in defense
of the nation's safety, security, and ideals; now, therefore, be
it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
83rd Legislature, hereby commend the nation's World War II
veterans on their courage and sacrifice and extend to them
heartfelt gratitude for their service; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
honor of their dedication to the cause of liberty.
