|
recognize the veterans who protected our nation's freedom in |
|
World War II; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, These men and women are known collectively as the |
|
Greatest Generation; whether wading ashore at Normandy, battling |

on the sands of Iwo Jima, or flying in the skies over Germany and |
|
the South Pacific, these brave individuals faced aggression and |
|
evil with courage and determination; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Their legacy of heroism and valor continues to |
|
serve as an inspiration to succeeding generations of Americans; |
|
their selfless devotion and strength have left an enduring mark |
|
on the world; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, It is truly fitting that all Texans reaffirm their |
|
gratitude to those true patriots who fought so bravely in defense |
|
of the nation's safety, security, and ideals; now, therefore, be |
|
it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, |
|
83rd Legislature, hereby commend the nation's World War II |
|
veterans on their courage and sacrifice and extend to them |
|
heartfelt gratitude for their service; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in |
|
honor of their dedication to the cause of liberty. |
