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.
