TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME:
WHEREAS,
sixty years ago today, on December
7, 1941, the peacefulness of a Sunday morning was shattered by the surprise
attack of Japanese forces against the United States of America at Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii, marking the entry of America into World War II, a war in which many
Texans gave the ultimate sacrifice for their state and nation; and
WHEREAS,
the Congress of the United States
has designated this day as the National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day (36 U.S.C. §129);
and the President of the United States, George W. Bush, has issued a proclamation
urging all Federal agencies, interested organizations, groups, and individuals
to fly the flag of the United States at half-staff this and every December
7 in honor of those who died as a result of their service at Pearl Harbor.
NOW, THEREFORE, I,
Rick Perry, Governor of
the State of Texas, by virtue of the power and authority vested in me by the
Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, do hereby proclaim December 7,
2001, as "National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day" in Texas and hereby order
the following:
The flags of the United States and of the State of Texas shall be flown
at half-staff at the state Capitol Building and in the Capitol Complex, the
Governor's Mansion, and upon all public buildings, grounds, and facilities
throughout the state until sunset on December 7, 2001. I also direct that
the flag shall be flown at half-staff at all Texas offices and facilities
abroad during this same time.
Individuals, businesses, municipalities, counties, and other political
subdivisions are urged to fly the flag at half-staff for the same length of
time as a sign of respect and in memory of this day.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF,
I have hereunto signed
my name and have officially caused the Seal of State to be affixed at my Office
in the City of Austin, Texas, this the 7th day of December, 2001.
