R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders have been a cultural 
phenomenon since their first appearance on the sidelines in 1972, 
and the long-standing efforts by the members of this unique dance 
troupe to use their celebrity to benefit others makes them worthy of 
commendation; and
	WHEREAS, Now in their 25th year of association with the USO 
and Department of Defense, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders have 
brought a touch of home to American service men and women across the 
globe, and they were chosen to receive the USO's "50th Anniversary 
Award" and its inaugural "Spirit of Hope Award," as well as the VFW 
"Hall of Fame Award"; and
	WHEREAS, Other worthy beneficiaries of the group's 
charitable work include the Susan G. Komen Foundation, the 
Salvation Army, the Veteran's Administration hospitals, the March 
of Dimes, and the American Heart Association; and
	WHEREAS, The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders have performed at 
thousands of events around the country, including county fairs, 
collegiate sporting events, conventions, award ceremonies, and on 
May 20, 2003, they put in a welcome appearance at the Texas House of 
Representatives members' football game; and
	WHEREAS, Determined to make a positive difference in the 
lives of those they encounter, these lovely and talented young 
women have traveled far and wide as goodwill ambassadors of the 
Dallas Cowboys, the City of Dallas, and the State of Texas, and they 
are indeed worthy of special legislative recognition at this time; 
now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby commend the members of the Dallas Cowboys 
Cheerleaders on their many notable contributions to their fellow 
Texans and Americans and extend to them sincere best wishes for 
continued success; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders as an expression of 
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
