SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1209
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize the Department of Texas Marine Corps League on the |
|
occasion of its 37th annual convention, which is being held |
|
June 7 through 10, 2007, in San Antonio; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A nonprofit veterans' organization comprised of |
|
former United States Marines, the Marine Corps League was granted |
|
a federal charter by the United States Congress in 1937; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, One of the primary objectives of the Marine Corps |
|
League is to recognize and honor all Marines who have lost their |
|
lives; it has dedicated itself to that goal through the Fallen |
|
Marine Program, which was implemented in 2002 by Galveston County |
|
Detachment 668; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, It is indeed fitting that all Texans reaffirm |
|
their gratitude to those patriots who lost their lives after |
|
loyally serving our country and to all Marines who have served |
|
our nation and defended its safety and security; now, therefore, |
|
be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, |
|
80th Legislature, hereby commend the Department of Texas Marine |
|
Corps League for its exemplary work at maintaining unity and |
|
pride among former Marines and extend best wishes for a memorable |
|
37th annual convention; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
the league as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
