SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 10
	WHEREAS, The year 2023 marks the 25th anniversary of the
	Greater Dallas Veterans Day Parade, which is being held in Dallas
	on November 9; and
	WHEREAS, Since 1998, the Greater Dallas Veterans Day
	Parade has been supported by the Greater Dallas Veterans
	Foundation; one of the nation's largest Veterans Day parades with
	more than 5,000 participants, the event commemorates the signing
	of the Armistice at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th
	month of 1918, thereby ending World War I; November 11 became
	known as Armistice Day and was eventually made a legal holiday,
	and in 1954, it was renamed Veterans Day to honor all who have
	performed military service in our country's behalf; and
	WHEREAS, Beginning at the City Hall Plaza in downtown
	Dallas, the parade will feature speeches and appearances by
	dignitaries and military leaders and include the traditional
	Eleventh Hour Ceremony, a symbolic wreath laying, the playing of
	taps, and a military flyover in the missing man formation;
	moreover, individuals representing the branches of the U.S.
	armed forces will take the oath of enlistment; and
	WHEREAS, Americans owe a profound debt of gratitude to the
	men and women who have put their lives on the line in defense of
	our safety and freedom, and the Greater Dallas Veterans Day
	Parade is a fitting tribute to their sacrifice and dedication to
	duty; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
	Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commemorate the 25th
	anniversary of the Greater Dallas Veterans Day Parade and extend to
	all those attending the event sincere best wishes for a meaningful
	and memorable experience; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
	prepared for the Greater Dallas Veterans Foundation as an
	expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
