H.R. No. 42
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, 2025, Texans across the state are
gathering to pay 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 dedication to duty, in wartime and in
peacetime, is 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 hardships of POW camps, and thousands still remain missing;
those who have returned home from war forever carry with them a
profound understanding 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 89th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate Veterans Day 2025 and pay tribute to
all of this country's veterans for their courage and patriotism.
