H.R. No. 161
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Fabens Veterans Park Committee is cohosting the
Veterans Celebration at Fabens Veterans Park on November 10, 2023;
and
WHEREAS, In addition to the Veterans Park Committee, the
Fabens Veterans Celebration is also being hosted by the Fabens High
School Student Council; the event will recognize local veterans for
their courageous service and will feature keynote speaker Colonel
Kirby "Bo" Dennis; and
WHEREAS, Originally celebrated as Armistice Day in
recognition of the end of World War I, Veterans Day now honors all
who have served in the armed forces, including the former members of
the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, Coast
Guard, and National Guard; generations of Texans have been inspired
by a deep sense of patriotism and answered their nation's call to
duty, and it is indeed appropriate that we reflect on all that has
been asked of those who have served and on the immeasurable
fortitude and valor with which they have met the challenges before
them; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commemorate the 2023 Fabens
Veterans Celebration and honor the members of the Fabens Veterans
Park Committee for their contributions to this noteworthy event;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the Fabens Veterans Park Committee as an expression of
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
González of El Paso
