         WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
  recognize the 250th anniversary of the United States Marine Corps
  and to join in celebrating March 21 through 26, 2025, as Marine
  Week Austin; and
         WHEREAS, The United States Marine Corps is marking its
  250th anniversary on November 10, 2025, and will honor the legacy
  of support and fidelity between the United States and the Marine
  Corps in a series of community events and ceremonies throughout
  the year; and
         WHEREAS, Since 1775, Marines from across the country and
  all walks of life have volunteered to serve their nation with
  distinction, and these devoted servicemen and women have
  faithfully embodied the Marines' uncompromising standards of
  honor, courage, and commitment; and
         WHEREAS, The United States Marines carry a legacy of
  battlefield heroism, relentless pursuit of victory, and the
  fighting spirit that guided them through Iwo Jima, the Chosin
  Reservoir, Vietnam, and Helmand Province; they are an elite and
  vital military force fueled by a long and proud heritage of
  devoted service to the nation and driven by the resolve to face
  tomorrow's challenges; and
         WHEREAS, The Marine Corps is the premier naval
  expeditionary force in readiness with nearly 38,000 Marines
  deployed around the globe as members of a professional,
  disciplined, and capable national force; at the conclusion of
  their military service, Marines return home having selflessly
  contributed to a cause greater than themselves, and they continue
  to uphold the Marine Corps' fundamental values as engaged
  citizens who work to strengthen and improve their communities;
  now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th
  Legislature, hereby pay tribute to all members of the United
  States Marine Corps, honor their 250-year legacy of steadfast
  dedication to the defense of freedom, and join them in
  celebrating March 21 through 26, 2025, as Marine Week Austin;
  and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
  honor of this special occasion.
