community; and
	WHEREAS, The spirit of public service is kept alive today by 
these dedicated citizens who have already made great sacrifices in 
behalf of their fellow Americans; the men and women of Post No. 7768 
have banded together in the years following their military service 
to promote awareness of the important role the military plays in a 
free society, to educate others about the human costs of armed 
conflict, and to ensure that the courageous actions of all veterans 
are accorded the respect that they so richly deserve; and
	WHEREAS, The members of the Zapata County post were recently 
called on to overcome a new hardship when their headquarters was 
heavily damaged by fire; showing the resilience that is their 
collective trademark, these admirable individuals have emerged 
from this incident with renewed determination to maintain their 
bonds of friendship and their service to the community, and their 
commitment to each other and to their community, state, and nation 
has only been strengthened; now, therefore, be it
