H.R. No. 1700
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The observance of Father's Day on June 18, 2023,
provides a welcome opportunity for all Texans to express their
gratitude to the fathers and father figures who have enriched their
lives and shaped their characters; and
WHEREAS, Father's Day was officially recognized in 1966, when
President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential
proclamation honoring fathers and designating the third Sunday in
June as Father's Day; it became a permanent national holiday in
1972, when President Richard Nixon signed it into law; and
WHEREAS, Fathers serve as role models, protectors,
providers, and friends; above all, they strive to instill in their
children enduring values and a sure sense of right and wrong; and
WHEREAS, Being a good father means providing the structure,
guidance, and love that children need to flourish, and on Father's
Day, we honor those who have stepped forward and taken on this
challenging yet rewarding responsibility; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate Father's Day 2023 and pay tribute to
the caring men who have dedicated their lives to building strong
families and to inspiring their children to reach their full
potential.
