 1-2                         SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1210
 1-3           WHEREAS, On Armed Forces Day, May 19, 2001, the
 1-4     City of Bullard dedicated the Bullard Area Veteran's Monument,
 1-5     and this impressive structure is indeed a fitting tribute to the
 1-6     city's many veterans who have proudly served their country through
 1-7     the years; and
 1-8           WHEREAS, Funded entirely with donations from Bullard
 1-9     citizens, this one-of-a-kind monument is a 45,000-pound
1-10     five-granite triangle that lists the names of the more than
1-11     1,000 veterans from the city; and
1-12           WHEREAS, Bullard residents have been involved in most of
1-13     our nation's great conflicts, from the Civil War to the Gulf War;
1-14     despite its relatively sparse population during the 1940s, the
1-15     city was represented in World War II at Normandy, at the Battle
1-16     of the Bulge, and during the push into Germany; of the 29 men
1-17     from the area who lost their lives in combat, 15 made the
1-18     ultimate sacrifice during World War II; and
1-19           WHEREAS, Those who defend our nation's freedoms are truly
1-20     deserving of our highest respect and admiration, and the Bullard
 2-1     Area Veteran's Monument is most certainly an appropriate way to
 2-2     honor those individuals from Bullard who have given so much to
 2-3     their fellow citizens; now, therefore, be it
 2-4           RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
 2-5     77th Legislature, hereby congratulate the City of Bullard on its
 2-6     newly dedicated Bullard Area Veteran's Monument and extend to
 2-7     all the city's veterans sincere appreciation for their dedicated
 2-8     service to our state and nation.
