WHEREAS, Texas Senior Day is taking place on February 12, |
|
|
2013, and this occasion offers a welcome opportunity to pay tribute |
|
|
to the many contributions made by the senior citizens of this state; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Today, more than four million Texans are at least 60 |
|
|
years of age, and by the year 2020, it is estimated that over 5.5 |
|
|
million Texans will be senior citizens; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Senior Texans have provided decades of service as |
|
|
community leaders and have played a vital role in building the |
|
|
public and private sectors of the Texas economy and in enriching the |
|
|
cultural life of the state; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, These exceptional citizens have helped Texas |
|
|
achieve greatness in agriculture, education, industry, information |
|
|
technology, literature, music, the visual and performing arts, |
|
|
medicine, science, space exploration, and sports; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The sacrifices that many older Americans have made |
|
|
at home and abroad during military service are deserving of special |
|
|
recognition; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Valued as mentors for the experience and wisdom they |
|
|
have gained over the years, senior Texans are also revered as role |
|
|
models for their exemplary service to others and their enthusiasm |
|
|
for living life to the fullest; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Our seniors reflect our diverse ethnic, spiritual, |
|
|
and cultural roots and remind us of the common bonds and pride we |
|
|
share as citizens of this state and nation; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize February 12, 2013, as Texas Senior Day |
|
|
at the Capitol and extend sincere appreciation to the senior |
|
|
citizens of Texas for their many contributions to the Lone Star |
|
|
State. |
