WHEREAS, On Memorial Day and Independence Day, Americans |
|
|
celebrate the many freedoms we enjoy as citizens of this nation and |
|
|
honor the sacrifices of those who have defended it; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In recognition of the importance that love of |
|
|
country plays in their lives, citizens of Liberty Hill have taken |
|
|
their observance one step further by instituting a Freedom Season |
|
|
in the days spanning these two national holidays; during this |
|
|
period, area residents decorate their community in red, white, and |
|
|
blue, promote related church activities and civic events, and |
|
|
commemorate the season through media and the arts; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Independence Day has also traditionally been a time |
|
|
when loved ones gather for family reunions to exchange fond |
|
|
memories and pay tribute to their shared heritage; likewise, |
|
|
Liberty Hill residents have sought to acknowledge the bonds that |
|
|
unite all citizens by encouraging participation in an American |
|
|
Family Reunion, and this notable observance of patriotism and |
|
|
liberty is indeed deserving of special commendation; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize July 1 through July 4, 2013, as the |
|
|
Texas Family Reunion and encourage all Texans to join together for a |
|
|
meaningful and memorable celebration of patriotism, freedom, and |
|
|
family. |
