WHEREAS, On March 29, 2014, Vietnam Veterans Day, citizens, |
|
veterans, and Texas leaders gathered on the Capitol grounds for the |
|
dedication of the Texas Capitol Vietnam Veterans Monument; and |
|
WHEREAS, The monument stands as a permanent tribute to the |
|
service and sacrifice of the thousands of Texans who took part in |

the Vietnam War; more than 3,400 brave servicemen from Texas made |
|
the ultimate sacrifice in the war, and 105 Texans remain missing in |

|
of Honor for their distinguished service during the conflict; and |

Legislative Session, and the project was completed through the |
|
diligent work of the Texas Capitol Vietnam Veterans Monument |
|
Committee; and |
|
WHEREAS, The monument sits in the dappled shade of the |
|
Capitol's northeast lawn, where visitors can reflect on and honor |
|
every Texan who courageously served during one of the longest wars |
|
in American history; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby commend all who contributed to the planning of |
|
the Texas Capitol Vietnam Veterans Monument and organized its |
|
dedication one year ago and pay tribute to the patriotic sons and |
|
daughters of the Lone Star State who served in the Vietnam War; and, |
|
be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for the Texas Capitol Vietnam Veterans Monument Committee |
|
as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of |
|
Representatives. |
