Americans in the annals of our state and nation; and
	WHEREAS, The U.S. Army Medical Command is a world-class 
health care system delivering top-quality medical care and health 
education for soldiers and veterans as well as their families; 
recognizing the significant contributions that African Americans 
have long rendered in the U.S. armed forces and the vital role they 
play in the ongoing protection of our nation, the Black History 
Committee of the Medical Command at Fort Sam Houston seeks to 
commend the many heroic sacrifices that these courageous Americans 
have made over the centuries in our country's behalf; and
	WHEREAS, Since 1926, the month of February has been

serve the cause of freedom; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas

prepared for the command as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
