R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, In times of great peril throughout the history of
our nation, men and women of the United States military have gone
bravely into battle; and
WHEREAS, U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer Scott Jamar embarked
from Fort Stewart, Georgia, in support of our nation's campaign to
liberate Iraqi citizens from repression; he was killed in action
when the Black Hawk helicopter he was aboard crashed in central
Iraq; and
WHEREAS, The loving father of two sons, this brave soldier
graduated from Sweetwater High School in 1989 before joining the
military to pursue his dream of becoming a helicopter pilot; he died
April 2, 2003, for the hopes and dreams of men and women in his
country and so that men and women in a faraway country could also
hope and dream; and
WHEREAS, Unflinching bravery and a resolute commitment to
fulfill his oath to serve, regardless of the personal consequences,
were demonstrated by this valorous American; the State of Texas and
the nation now mourn the loss of Scott Jamar, a true hero; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas
Legislature hereby honor the life of Scott Jamar and extend to his
family deepest sympathy: to his sons, Brennan and Kyle; to his
parents, Wayne and Jennifer Jamar; to his sister, Elizabeth Jamar;
to his brother, Paul; to his grandparents, Odean Jamar and Neva and
Dan Hymer; and to his many friends; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the members of his family and that when the Texas House
of Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Chief
Warrant Officer Scott Jamar.
