HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
|
|
WHEREAS, Texas and the nation owe an immeasurable debt to the |
|
men and women of our armed forces, who have helped to secure and |
|
preserve our democratic freedoms; and |
|
WHEREAS, On Veterans Day, employers should seek to honor the |
|
service and sacrifice of veterans in their employment by allowing |
|
them flexibility in celebrating this important day; and |
|
WHEREAS, Veterans of the U.S. armed forces have demonstrated |
|
their bravery and patriotism by answering their nation’s call to |
|
duty, stepping forward to serve in many different capacities and |
|
locations, often placing themselves in harm’s way to safeguard our |
|
liberty and security; today, they continue to make valuable |
|
contributions as involved members of their communities, and they |
|
are deserving of our profound respect and gratitude; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the 87th Legislature of the State of Texas |
|
hereby encourage employers to look for ways to honor veterans on |
|
Veterans Day, including allowing veterans a day off in appreciation |
|
for their service. |
