|
       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. |
