H.R. No. 2115
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Every year on Patriot Day, Americans reflect on the
  tragic events of September 11, 2001, honoring the thousands of
  innocent people who were killed and the many thousands more who
  joined together in the wake of catastrophe to protect, comfort, and
  serve the residents of this great nation; and
         WHEREAS, On that infamous September morning, 19 terrorists
  hijacked four civilian aircraft and perpetrated one of the most
  horrific crimes in American history; two of the planes were used to
  bring down the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York
  City while another targeted the Pentagon; the fourth airplane,
  United Flight 93, crashed in the Pennsylvania countryside thanks to
  the heroic resistance of its passengers; and
         WHEREAS, All told, nearly 3,000 people died as a result of
  those attacks, including more than 400 New York first responders,
  184 individuals at the Pentagon, and the 40 passengers of Flight 93;
  and
         WHEREAS, In the months following the attacks, the Congress of
  the United States passed a joint resolution designating September
  11 as Patriot Day; on that day, Americans pause for a moment of
  silence, during which we remember those we have lost, pay tribute to
  those who have fought and sacrificed to defend our way of life, and
  renew our commitment to our neighbors, our ideals, and our country;
  now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
  Legislature hereby commemorate Patriot Day 2019 in memory of all
  who were killed or injured on September 11, 2001, and in honor of
  the nation's first responders and military service members.
