WHEREAS, United States service members render sacrifice that |
|
|
is truly beyond measure; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, These dedicated men and women are often away from |
|
|
their homes and families for lengthy periods of time, and many also |
|
|
leave behind promising careers; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Veterans are among the most productive and motivated |
|
|
people in the country, with countless skills that are transferable |
|
|
from the military to the civilian workforce; moreover, their years |
|
|
of experience and training have helped them become strong leaders |
|
|
who excel at performing under pressure; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Texas is home to some 1.7 million veterans, whose |
|
|
talent, work ethic, and dependability would greatly benefit |
|
|
employers and the overall economy; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Texans, indeed all citizens, owe a profound debt of |
|
|
gratitude to each individual who serves or has served in the United |
|
|
States armed forces, and providing job opportunities for veterans |
|
|
is one way to express our admiration and appreciation for the |
|
|
experience they have gained in our service; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby encourage Texas employers to take full advantage |
|
|
of the skills, expertise, and character of these patriotic |
|
|
Americans by offering them employment opportunities. |
