            |  |        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. |
