resolution:
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to recognize the veterans
who protected our nation's freedom in World War II; and
WHEREAS, These men and women are known collectively as the Greatest

inspiration to succeeding generations of Americans; their selfless devotion and
strength have left an enduring mark on the world; and
