H.R. No. 104



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Today, there are approximately three million Texans 
who are 60 years of age or older and it is projected that in 20 years 
that number will increase to more than five million; and
	WHEREAS, Imparting their wisdom and knowledge, these 
citizens reflect the state's cultural, spiritual, and ethnic 
diversity and make Texas a better place in which to live, work, and 
raise families by serving as teachers and role models for younger 
generations; and
	WHEREAS, Countless older Texans relish their role as 
grandparents and mentors, instilling many of the same values and 
principles in their grandchildren that were taught to them by their 
own parents and grandparents; and
	WHEREAS, Helping to bridge the gap between past, present, and 
future, senior citizens in Texas have made immeasurable 
contributions in such important areas as education, industry, 
agriculture, space exploration, information technology, music, 
arts, and sports; furthermore, they have ably defended our nation's 
freedoms so that democracy could flourish in the United States; and
	WHEREAS, Throughout the years, Texas has reaped the benefits 
of senior citizens' experience, vision, and leadership, and it is 
most fitting to honor these elder Texans for their numerous good 
works and deeds; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby recognize February 4, 2003, as Senior Day in 
Texas and encourage Texans to observe and celebrate the 
contributions of these treasured citizens with appropriate 
ceremonies and festivities.

                                                                          Chavez
