SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 10
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The year 2023 marks the 25th anniversary of the |
|
|
Greater Dallas Veterans Day Parade, which is being held in Dallas |
|
|
on November 9; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Since 1998, the Greater Dallas Veterans Day |
|
|
Parade has been supported by the Greater Dallas Veterans |
|
|
Foundation; one of the nation's largest Veterans Day parades with |
|
|
more than 5,000 participants, the event commemorates the signing |
|
|
of the Armistice at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th |
|
|
month of 1918, thereby ending World War I; November 11 became |
|
|
known as Armistice Day and was eventually made a legal holiday, |
|
|
and in 1954, it was renamed Veterans Day to honor all who have |
|
|
performed military service in our country's behalf; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Beginning at the City Hall Plaza in downtown |
|
|
Dallas, the parade will feature speeches and appearances by |
|
|
dignitaries and military leaders and include the traditional |
|
|
Eleventh Hour Ceremony, a symbolic wreath laying, the playing of |
|
|
taps, and a military flyover in the missing man formation; |
|
|
moreover, individuals representing the branches of the U.S. |
|
|
armed forces will take the oath of enlistment; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Americans owe a profound debt of gratitude to the |
|
|
men and women who have put their lives on the line in defense of |
|
|
our safety and freedom, and the Greater Dallas Veterans Day |
|
|
Parade is a fitting tribute to their sacrifice and dedication to |
|
|
duty; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th |
|
|
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commemorate the 25th |
|
|
anniversary of the Greater Dallas Veterans Day Parade and extend to |
|
|
all those attending the event sincere best wishes for a meaningful |
|
|
and memorable experience; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be |
|
|
