R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 76 in San Antonio
  is hosting a ceremony on March 28, 2015, in recognition of Vietnam
  Veterans Day; and
         WHEREAS, One of the oldest posts in the Lone Star State, VFW
  Post No. 76 annually marks this observance, which commemorates the
  anniversary of the withdrawal of U.S. armed forces from Vietnam on
  March 29, 1973; and
         WHEREAS, Members of the U.S. armed forces were initially sent
  to South Vietnam in an advisory capacity in 1961; the first American
  ground combat units arrived there in 1965, and by 1969
  approximately 543,000 U.S. troops were serving in that country; by
  the time the war ended in April 1975, more than three million
  Americans had seen duty in Southeast Asia; and
         WHEREAS, The Vietnam War claimed the lives of more than
  58,000 members of the U.S. armed forces, including over 3,400
  Texans; more than 2,500 American servicemen were taken prisoner,
  and an estimated 3,000 to 6,000 were counted as missing in action;
  and
         WHEREAS, Americans owe a lasting debt of gratitude and
  remembrance to the men and women who served this country in Vietnam,
  and this event pays fitting tribute to those military personnel for
  their brave and steadfast efforts and immeasurable sacrifice in one
  of the most difficult wars in this nation's history; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
  Legislature hereby commemorate the Vietnam Veterans Day
  celebration at VFW Post No. 76 in San Antonio and extend to the
  event's organizers and participants sincere best wishes for a
  meaningful and memorable observance; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for VFW Post No. 76 as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
