Recognizing 75 Texas World War II veterans visiting Washington, DC, on 
    September 27, 2010, to visit the memorials built in their honor.

Whereas 16,000,000 brave Americans served in the Armed Forces during World War 
        II, and more than 400,000 sacrificed their lives;
Whereas there are more than 1,600,000 veterans living in the State of Texas, of 
        which more than 157,000 served during World War II;
Whereas, on September 27, 2010, the Dow Chemical Company will fly 75 Texas World 
        War II veterans who retired from the company to Washington, DC, as part 
        of the Honor Flight program;
Whereas the visit will allow the veterans to visit the memorials built in their 
        honor and pay tribute to those with whom they served in the Armed 
        Forces, as well as to those who followed in their footsteps; and
Whereas Congress thanks these Texas veterans for their bravery, sacrifice and 
        service to the country during World War II, and expresses appreciation 
        for their many years of hard work as part of Dow's Texas Operations: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives honors the 75 World War 
II veterans visiting Washington, DC, from Texas on September 27, 2010, 
for their service and dedication and wishes them a memorable visit to 
Washington.
