89(R) HR 42 - Enrolled version - Bill Text

  

  

  
 H.R. No. 42

  

  

   

 R E S O L U T I O N

   

        WHEREAS, America's military veterans hold a revered place in 

  

 the history of this country and in the hearts of its people, and on 

  

 Veterans Day, November 11, 2025, Texans across the state are 

  

 gathering to pay tribute to these selfless men and women; and

  

        WHEREAS, Originally celebrated as Armistice Day, in 

  

 recognition of the day the guns of World War I fell silent, Veterans 

  

 Day now honors all who have performed military service in this 

  

 country's behalf; their dedication to duty, in wartime and in 

  

 peacetime, is deserving of their fellow citizens' deepest 

  

 appreciation and gratitude; and

  

        WHEREAS, Service in the armed forces demands much of the men 

  

 and women who undertake it, and the burdens assumed can be great; of 

  

 the legions who have answered their country's call, millions have 

  

 died or been wounded during wartime, countless others have endured 

  

 the hardships of POW camps, and thousands still remain missing; 

  

 those who have returned home from war forever carry with them a 

  

 profound understanding of loss and sacrifice; and

  

        WHEREAS, To all these men and women, Americans owe a debt that 

  

 the passage of time can never diminish; it is a debt that calls us to 

  

 recognize their valiant service and to honor, in deeds as well as 

  

 words, those high ideals that represent the very best of this 

  

 nation's heritage; now, therefore, be it

  

        RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas 

  

 Legislature hereby commemorate Veterans Day 2025 and pay tribute to 

   

 all of this country's veterans for their courage and patriotism.
