Whereas, 189 years ago, General Sam Houston launched an attack against Santa Anna and his Mexican Army achieving the deciding victory over Mexico securing Texas independence; Whereas General Sam Houston said, “We must now act or abandon all hope.

Be men, be free men, that your children may bless their father’s name”; Whereas the battle lasted only 18 minutes before the Texan Army claimed their victory; Whereas the victory at San Jacinto led to the independence of Texas from Mexico, giving Texas the autonomy needed for its eventual admission into the United States nine years later; and Whereas the legacy of the Texan Army, remembered for its courage and sacrifice continues to inspire national pride in Texans and Americans alike: Now therefore be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

(2) honors the bravery and honor of those who fought in the Texas revolution for their commitment to freedom and liberty; and
