WHEREAS, In March 2019, American Legion Peter J Courcy Post |
|
|
178 in Frisco is celebrating the fifth anniversary of its founding, |
|
|
and this occasion offers a welcome opportunity to pay tribute to its |
|
|
admirable work in the local area; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Since its inception, American Legion Post 178 has |
|
|
dedicated itself to fostering patriotism and providing support to |
|
|
current and former military service members and their families; in |
|
|
keeping with this mission, the group has taken part in a number of |
|
|
notable projects and initiatives in the community, with a special |
|
|
emphasis on those benefiting veterans and youth; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This milestone year for the post is made all the more |
|
|
special because it coincides with the 100th anniversary of its |
|
|
parent organization; chartered by Congress in 1919, the American |
|
|
Legion has grown into a large and influential nonprofit |
|
|
organization that numbers over two million members in some 13,000 |
|
|
local posts worldwide; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Americans owe an eternal debt of gratitude to those |
|
|
men and women who have sacrificed so much in serving our country, |
|
|
and American Legion Post 178 is indeed worthy of recognition for its |
|
|
outstanding efforts to ensure that past and present members of the |
|
|
armed forces receive the support and resources they so rightly |
|
|
deserve; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate American Legion Peter J Courcy Post |
|
|
178 on its fifth anniversary and commend all those associated with |
|
|
the group for their exemplary service to the Frisco community; and, |
|
|
be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the post as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
