House Concurrent Resolution No. 7 recognizes the significant contributions of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) of the United States, which has been serving veterans for 125 years. Founded in 1899 by veterans of the Spanish-American and Philippine-American Wars, the VFW has grown to include over 1.4 million members and has played a crucial role in advocating for veterans' rights and benefits, including healthcare and pensions. The organization has also been instrumental in establishing the Veterans Administration and has supported various legislative efforts to improve the lives of veterans and their families.

In honor of the VFW's dedication and impact, the resolution designates September 29 as Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States Day in Texas. This designation will remain in effect for ten years, reflecting the state's commitment to recognizing and appreciating the sacrifices made by military personnel and the ongoing support provided by the VFW. The resolution was adopted unanimously by both the House and Senate, highlighting the bipartisan support for honoring veterans and the organizations that advocate for their well-being.
