SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
|
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Montgomery County Veterans Memorial Commission |
|
|
is working to establish a new memorial park in Conroe in honor of |
|
|
all veterans of the United States armed forces, especially those |
|
|
from Montgomery County; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, While the downtown area of Conroe already features a |
|
|
veterans memorial park, the property is incapable of further |
|
|
upgrades or expansion; the commission's desired site for the new |
|
|
memorial is located on land owned by the City of Conroe and the |
|
|
State of Texas, adjacent to the intersection of Interstate 45 and |
|
|
State Highway 105, and the group has secured the cooperation of the |
|
|
municipal and county governments for the installation; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Americans owe an immeasurable debt to the men and |
|
|
women who have sacrificed so much in service to our nation, and |
|
|
through its worthwhile efforts, the Montgomery County Veterans |
|
|
Memorial Commission is helping to ensure that their bravery and |
|
|
heroism are remembered for years to come; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the 85th Legislature of the State of Texas |
|
|
hereby urge the Texas Department of Transportation, the Texas |
|
|
Historical Commission, the Texas Veterans Commission, and all other |
|
|
appropriate state agencies to offer full aid and support to the |
|
|
Montgomery County Veterans Memorial Commission in its mission to |
|
|
establish a new veterans memorial in Conroe; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Texas secretary of state forward official |
|
|
copies of this resolution to the chairs of the commissions and the |
