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 |
|

|
the ideals and principles of this great nation; and, be it further |
|
