SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 942
|
|
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 of patriotism in |
|
their lives, citizens of Texas Senate District 5 have taken their |
|
observance one step further by observing 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 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, |
|
residents of Senate District 5 have sought to acknowledge the |
|
bonds that unite all citizens by encouraging participation in an |
|
American Family Reunion event in Texas, and this notable |
|
celebration of patriotism, liberty, and tradition is indeed |
|
deserving of special commendation; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
Legislature, hereby recognize all those who are participating in |
|
the Texas Family Reunion on July 1 through July 4, 2017, and |
|
extend best wishes for a meaningful and memorable celebration of |
|
patriotism, freedom, and family. |
