H.R. No. 1003
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, March 25, 2013, marks an important date in the lives
  of Greek residents of Texas and beyond, as it commemorates the 192nd
  anniversary of Greek Independence Day; and
         WHEREAS, On March 25, 1821, the brave men and women of Greece
  began their struggle for liberty against the Ottoman Empire, and in
  January 1822 the rebels declared their nation's independence; and
         WHEREAS, Both American and Greek cultures value faith,
  community, civic engagement, and a democratic form of government;
  our nations have long opposed tyrannical regimes that emphasize
  military might and dominance over the well-being and rights of
  people, and we share a willingness to make tremendous sacrifices in
  order to advance the causes of freedom, equality, and human
  dignity; and
         WHEREAS, In forming our democratic framework, America's
  founders derived inspiration from the principles of democracy and
  liberty forged in Greece, and citizens of Texas built on those same
  ideals when they formed a government after achieving independence
  from Mexico in 1836; and
         WHEREAS, Today, we join with all those who cherish freedom
  and self-determination to recognize this historic date and to
  reaffirm the democratic vision that gave birth to our two great
  nations; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize Greek Independence Day on March 25,
  2013, and honor the important contributions made by Greek Americans
  on this significant occasion.
