SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 200
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the members of the United States armed forces who so
honorably served our nation during the Vietnam War and to pay
tribute to them on the occasion of Vietnam Veterans Day on March
29, 2021; and
WHEREAS, The Vietnam War was one of the longest military
conflicts in United States history; more than three million
Americans served in Southeast Asia during the war, with more than
58,000 making the ultimate sacrifice, including more than 3,400
Texans; and
WHEREAS, In recognition of the service and sacrifice of the
thousands of Texans who served in the Vietnam War, the 79th
Legislature of the State of Texas passed House Concurrent
Resolution 36, which called for the construction of a monument on
the Capitol grounds to pay tribute to those who took part in the
conflict; the Texas Capitol Vietnam Veterans Monument was
dedicated on March 29, 2014; and
WHEREAS, The men and women who served the nation during the
Vietnam War embodied the highest standards of courage,
sacrifice, and devotion to duty, and their heroic actions set a
lasting example that will live forever in the annals of American
history; and
WHEREAS, It is truly fitting that these brave veterans be
recognized for their patriotism and their service on behalf of
the nation as Texans across the state observe Vietnam Veterans
Day; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th
Legislature, hereby commend the veterans of the United States
armed forces who served during the Vietnam War on their
extraordinary service to their nation; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
honor of their great dedication and their sacrifice.
