 than 10 million travelers a unique opportunity to experience its 

  

 vibrant culture and natural beauty; these visitors bring 

  

 significant economic support to the region, infuse the City of

 annually, and sustain thousands of jobs; and

  

        WHEREAS, The Coastal Bend has a rich history and is 

  

 recognized as Texas' only World War II heritage site by the 

  

 National Park Service; this designation honors Naval Air Station 

  

 Corpus Christi, where a training program was held that trained 

  

 more than 35,000 naval aviators who greatly contributed to the 

  

 success of the war effort, and the site continues to inspire 

  

 belief in the value of service and dedication; and

  

        WHEREAS, The region's many attractions, including Padre 

  

 Island National Seashore, the Texas State Aquarium, the USS 

  

 Lexington aircraft carrier, and a variety of youth and amateur 

  

 sporting events, provide resources for families to come 

  

 together, build lasting memories, and appreciate the natural and 

  

 cultural wealth of the area; and

  

        WHEREAS, Corpus Christi is the eighth-largest city in 

  

 Texas, and it will soon be home to the state's first 

  

 municipally owned seawater desalination facility; The Port of 

  

 Corpus Christi is a vital economic engine that brings 

  

 opportunity to the Coastal Bend region and supports 

  

 significant change and growth for Texas and the nation; and

  

        WHEREAS, Educational institutions including Texas A&M 

  

 University--Corpus Christi, Del Mar Community College, Coastal 

  

 Bend College, and the Corpus Christi Independent School District 

  

 provide access to knowledge and training to prepare students for 

  

 the future while fostering an understanding of the important role 

  

 they play in the community; and

  

        WHEREAS, The residents of the Coastal Bend work together to 

  

 create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all and bring 

  

 their shared vision to life through collaboration, community 

  

 involvement, and the appreciation of their shared home; now, 

  

 therefore, be it

  

        RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th 

  

 Legislature, hereby recognize February 12, 2025, as Coastal Bend Day 

  

 at the State Capitol and extend to the region's delegation sincere 

  

 best wishes for a memorable and enjoyable event; and, be it further
