SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 865
         WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
  recognize the men and women of the United States Armed Forces who
  so honorably served our nation during the Korean War and to pay
  tribute to them on the occasion of Korean Veterans Day, which is
  being celebrated on April 29, 2011; and
         WHEREAS, The Korean War was one of the earliest conflicts
  in the proxy battle between the United States and Soviet Union
  known as the Cold War; some 1,700 Texans made the ultimate
  sacrifice for their country in Korea, and today, 125,000 veterans
  of the Korean War make their home in Texas; and
         WHEREAS, These veterans served bravely and selflessly and
  distinguished themselves during this conflict through their
  exemplary valor and fortitude; and
         WHEREAS, The men and women who served the nation during the
  Korean War embodied the highest standards of courage, sacrifice,
  and devotion to duty, and their heroic actions set a lasting
  example that will live forever in the annals of American history;
  now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
  Legislature, hereby commend the veterans of our nation's military
  who served during the Korean War and extend to them heartfelt
  gratitude for their extraordinary service and their commitment to
  the ideals and principles of this great nation; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
  honor of their dedication and sacrifice.
