R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 76 in San Antonio
is hosting a ceremony on March 28, 2015, in recognition of Vietnam
Veterans Day; and
WHEREAS, One of the oldest posts in the Lone Star State, VFW
Post No. 76 annually marks this observance, which commemorates the
anniversary of the withdrawal of U.S. armed forces from Vietnam on
March 29, 1973; and
WHEREAS, Members of the U.S. armed forces were initially sent
to South Vietnam in an advisory capacity in 1961; the first American
ground combat units arrived there in 1965, and by 1969
approximately 543,000 U.S. troops were serving in that country; by
the time the war ended in April 1975, more than three million
Americans had seen duty in Southeast Asia; and
WHEREAS, The Vietnam War claimed the lives of more than
58,000 members of the U.S. armed forces, including over 3,400
Texans; more than 2,500 American servicemen were taken prisoner,
and an estimated 3,000 to 6,000 were counted as missing in action;
and
WHEREAS, Americans owe a lasting debt of gratitude and
remembrance to the men and women who served this country in Vietnam,
and this event pays fitting tribute to those military personnel for
their brave and steadfast efforts and immeasurable sacrifice in one
of the most difficult wars in this nation's history; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the Vietnam Veterans Day
celebration at VFW Post No. 76 in San Antonio and extend to the
event's organizers and participants sincere best wishes for a
meaningful and memorable observance; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for VFW Post No. 76 as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
