By:  Madla                                            S.R. No. 1111
    1-1                           SENATE RESOLUTION
    1-2        WHEREAS, It is with immense pride and sorrow that the
    1-3  United States of America observe May 30, 1995, as the special day
    1-4  on which we commemorate the bravery, the sacrifice, and the loss of
    1-5  our country's honored dead:  the men and women in the Armed Services
    1-6  who gave their lives that we might live in liberty; and
    1-7        WHEREAS, On Memorial Day, we bring flowers, the universal
    1-8  symbol of life's hope, beauty, transience, and promise of eternity,
    1-9  to the cemeteries and graves of the war dead, and the national flag
   1-10  is displayed as a fitting testimonial of respect for those who fell;
   1-11  and
   1-12        WHEREAS, Whether young or mature, of high rank or low,
   1-13  whether laid to rest in mighty vaults in great places or in the
   1-14  family's simple country plot, these men and women are our fathers,
   1-15  our sons, our brothers, our daughters and sisters, our dearest
   1-16  companions, who gave their all; and
   1-17        WHEREAS, It is particularly fitting that as we near the
   1-18  close of the most devastating century in history, and still the
   1-19  world is ravaged by senseless wars and tyrannies, that we should
   1-20  offer particular gratitude to those who sacrificed their lives to
   1-21  keep us from harm's way; and
   1-22        WHEREAS, The people of Pecos County are especially steadfast
   1-23  in their remembrance and solemn celebration of these heroes' honor
    2-1  and valor; now, therefore, be it
    2-2        RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
    2-3  74th Legislature, hereby designate May 30, 1995, as Memorial Day
    2-4  in Pecos County; and, be it further
    2-5        RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for the
    2-6  people of Pecos County as a memento of this special occasion.
