BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

The most important asset in Texas is our young people, because they are the
leaders of tomorrow.  It is important to emphasize the qualities we want
future generations of Texans to emulate and value.  We need to instill in
our young people an appreciation of the courage and valor demonstrated by
our nation's veterans.  Providing an educational opportunity for our
children to learn about the costs of securing democracy for future
generations is a commendable goal for Texas schools to pursue.  Senate
Concurrent Resolution 24 encourages schools throughout Texas to emphasize
the observation of Veterans Day and to stress the important sacrifices
veterans made to ensure all the rights and privileges that today's students
enjoy.   

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the opinion of the Office of House Bill Analysis that this resolution
does not expressly delegate any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, department, agency, or institution.
