This resolution honors the military service and sacrifices of veterans from Texas, home to nearly 1.6 million veterans — more than any other state, including over 203,000 women veterans. It highlights that Texas veterans have served in every major U.S. conflict from World War I through Operation Iraqi Freedom, with tens of thousands of Texans killed in those wars, and that 102 Texas veterans have received the Medal of Honor. The resolution also acknowledges ongoing challenges veterans face, including mental health struggles, a veteran suicide rate of roughly 17 deaths per day nationwide, and veteran homelessness affecting more than 32,000 people. It commits the House of Representatives to working with the Department of Veterans Affairs and other agencies to ensure veterans receive timely care, benefits, and support transitioning to civilian life.
