1-14           WHEREAS, The brave men and women who proudly served in the
1-15     Korean War are deserving of our utmost respect and should be held
1-16     in the highest regard for the sacrifices they made for the cause of
1-17     freedom; and
1-18           WHEREAS, The Korean War was a significant historical event in
1-19     which many Americans gave their lives in the struggle to prevent
1-20     the spread of communism throughout Asia, yet this important war
1-21     suffers from a misconception that it was a conflict, when it was
1-22     indeed a war; and
1-23           WHEREAS, The issue of educating the public that the Korean
1-24     War was indeed a war and not simply a conflict, and Korean War
1-25     veterans are indeed veterans and not simply Korean War
1-26     participants, was approved by the Texas Lone Star Chapter of the
1-27     Korean War Veterans Organization and later endorsed by the Texas
1-28     Coalition of Veterans Organizations; and
1-29           WHEREAS, It is vital that the Texas Legislature help to
1-30     enlighten the populace to the correct nomenclature pertaining to
1-31     the Korean War and its veterans so that the public will give these
1-32     courageous soldiers who sacrificed so much the recognition they
1-33     have so rightly earned; now, therefore, be it
1-34           RESOLVED, That the 76th Legislature of the State of Texas
1-35     hereby respectfully support the efforts of the Texas Lone Star
1-36     Chapter of the Korean War Veterans Organization in its public
1-37     education efforts regarding the Korean War.
