  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.
