         WHEREAS, The observance of Father's Day on June 18, 2023,
  provides a welcome opportunity for all Texans to express their
  gratitude to the fathers and father figures who have enriched their
  lives and shaped their characters; and
         WHEREAS, Father's Day was officially recognized in 1966, when
  President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential
  proclamation honoring fathers and designating the third Sunday in
  June as Father's Day; it became a permanent national holiday in
  1972, when President Richard Nixon signed it into law; and
         WHEREAS, Fathers serve as role models, protectors,
  providers, and friends; above all, they strive to instill in their
  children enduring values and a sure sense of right and wrong; and
         WHEREAS, Being a good father means providing the structure,
  guidance, and love that children need to flourish, and on Father's
  Day, we honor those who have stepped forward and taken on this
  challenging yet rewarding responsibility; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
  Legislature hereby commemorate Father's Day 2023 and pay tribute to
  the caring men who have dedicated their lives to building strong
  families and to inspiring their children to reach their full
  potential.
