SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 343
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
join citizens across the state in celebrating September 30, 2017,
as Czech Heritage Day in Texas; and
WHEREAS, Many people in Texas trace their roots to the
Czech Republic; once known as Bohemia, the Czech Republic is home
to a proud people who have fought valiantly through the years to
preserve their culture and values; and
WHEREAS, Texas has more people of Czech descent than any
other state in the union, and there are a number of these citizens
who continue to speak the distinctive Texas Czech dialect; and
WHEREAS, Texans of Czech descent take great pleasure in
sharing their culture with their fellow Texans at such events as
the Kolache Fest in Halletsville; it is truly fitting that a day
be set aside to celebrate their heritage and many achievements;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
Legislature, hereby commend the Texans of Czech ancestry for
their many contributions to our state and extend to all best
wishes for a memorable Czech Heritage Day; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
honor of this special occasion.
