  H.R. No. 1031
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, The love of liberty that helped to shape our
  constitution has deep roots in the spirit of ancient Greece, and as
  we observe Greek Independence Day, we celebrate the timeless
  democratic principles that we cherish; and
         WHEREAS, In 1821, our nation supported the cause of Greek
  independence when the brave men and women of Greece began their long
  struggle for liberty, and on the anniversary of the Greek
  Declaration of Independence, we honor the courage of those proud
  patriots; and
         WHEREAS, The story of Greek military tactics used at the
  Battle of Marathon in 490 B.C. is still mandatory reading at the
  National War College in Washington, D.C.; Greek soldiers were with
  U.S. Marines on the shores of Tripoli in the military operations
  memorialized in the United States Marine Hymn; and
         WHEREAS, Greece's greatest legacy is the establishment of
  democratic government, and today Greeks and Americans continue to
  share a love of freedom, liberty, and individual rights; and
         WHEREAS, Greek Americans have made significant contributions
  to this state and country, and it is fitting that all Texans join in
  celebrating this historic date while reaffirming the democratic
  vision that gave birth to our two great nations; now, therefore, be
  it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize March 25, 2009, as Greek Independence
  Day: A Day of Celebration of Greek and American Democracy.
