SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 980

	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to 
recognize the thousands of Texas employers who have steadfastly 
supported those employees who were called away from their jobs, 
homes, and families to fulfill their commitment to protect their 
country; and

	WHEREAS, More than 400,000 employers in Texas allowed 
their employees to serve in the National Guard and the reserves, 
both at home and abroad, with the assurance that their jobs would 
be there for them when they returned; and

	WHEREAS, Many employers have also been called to serve 
their country and have had to leave their businesses as well as 
their families; and

	WHEREAS, Texas employers fully cooperate with the 
Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act and 
encourage and support their employees' participation in the 
National Guard and reserves; and

	WHEREAS, Their efforts are critical to the continued 
success of our armed forces' mission to strengthen and protect 
the security and the well-being of our communities, our state, 
and our nation; now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 
78th Legislature, hereby commend the employers of Texas for their 
support of the thousands of Texans who are performing their duty 
to protect this country; and, be it further
