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.
