SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 466
|
|
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 Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd |
|
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. |
