H.R. No. 2334
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, America's military veterans hold a revered place in
the history of this country and in the hearts of its people, and on
Veterans Day, November 11, 2024, Texans across the state are
gathering to pay grateful tribute to these selfless men and women;
and
WHEREAS, Originally celebrated as Armistice Day, in
recognition of the day the guns of World War I fell silent, Veterans
Day now honors all who have performed military service in this
country's behalf; their invincible spirit and dedication to duty,
in wartime and in peacetime, are deserving of their fellow
citizens' deepest appreciation and gratitude; and
WHEREAS, Service in the armed forces demands much of the men
and women who undertake it, and the burdens assumed can be great; of
the legions who have answered their country's call, millions have
died or been wounded during wartime, countless others have endured
the privations and hardships of POW camps, and thousands still
remain missing; those who have returned home from war have forever
carried with them an indelible knowledge of loss and sacrifice; and
WHEREAS, To all these men and women, Americans owe a debt that
the passage of time can never diminish; it is a debt that calls us to
recognize their valiant service and to honor, in deeds as well as
words, those high ideals that represent the very best of this
nation's heritage; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate Veterans Day 2024 and honor all of
this country's veterans for their steadfast courage, commitment,
and patriotism.
