                            SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
 1-1           WHEREAS, The brave men and women who proudly served in the
 1-2     Korean War are deserving of our utmost respect and should be held
 1-3     in the highest regard for the sacrifices they made for the cause of
 1-4     freedom; and
 1-5           WHEREAS, The Korean War was a significant historical event in
 1-6     which many Americans gave their lives in the struggle to prevent
 1-7     the spread of communism throughout Asia, yet this important war
 1-8     suffers from a misconception that it was a conflict, when it was
 1-9     indeed a war; and
1-10           WHEREAS, The issue of educating the public that the Korean
1-11     War was indeed a war and not simply a conflict, and Korean War
1-12     veterans are indeed veterans and not simply Korean War
1-13     participants, was approved by the Texas Lone Star Chapter of the
1-14     Korean War Veterans Association and later endorsed by the Texas
1-15     Coalition of Veterans Organizations; and
1-16           WHEREAS, It is vital that the Texas Legislature help to
1-17     enlighten the populace to the correct nomenclature pertaining to
1-18     the Korean War and its veterans so that the public will give these
1-19     courageous soldiers who sacrificed so much the recognition they
1-20     have so rightly earned; now, therefore, be it
1-21           RESOLVED, That the 76th Legislature of the State of Texas
1-22     hereby respectfully support the efforts of the Texas Lone Star
1-23     Chapter of the Korean War Veterans Association in its public
1-24     education efforts regarding the Korean War.
