SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 889
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas takes great pride |
|
|
in recognizing the devotion and sacrifice of the members of the |
|
|
United States military who so honorably serve our country; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Today, the Senate is most honored to pay special |
|
|
tribute to those forces who, over the last decade, have been |
|
|
committed to the War on Terrorism and the search for the |
|
|
notorious Al Qaeda leader, Osama Bin Laden; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, It is due to the steadfast commitment of the |
|
|
American government and the courage and skill of our military |
|
|
troops that the world today can rejoice in the greater security |
|
|
and safety brought about by the successful military action |
|
|
against this terrorist organization and its leader, who was |
|
|
responsible for the murder of nearly 3,000 innocent American |
|
|
civilians on September 11, 2001; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Texans have accounted for a significant number of |
|
|
the many military men and women who have been deployed since 2001 |
|
|
to Afghanistan and Iraq, and many of these service members have |
|
|
lost their lives or been wounded in the conflicts that have |
|
|
ensued over these long years; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Those who planned and participated in the |
|
|
operation that was carried out in Pakistan against Osama Bin |
|
|
Laden deserve the highest of praise for the extraordinary valor |
|
|
and expertise which they exhibited during this challenging |
|
|
mission; to their tremendous credit, their heroic actions 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 military forces who have made |
|
|
extraordinary sacrifices to serve our state and nation and pay |
|
|
highest tribute to those incredibly brave individuals who |
|
|
participated in this successful mission; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in |
|
|
recognition of this milestone in the ongoing effort to combat |
|
|
worldwide terrorism. |
