R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, United States Navy Corpsman Jose Ramos of El Paso 
sustained injuries on July 28, 2004, in Iraq, and he is most 
deserving of our highest praise for risking his life in service to 
his country; and
	WHEREAS, While serving in the town of Karma, this courageous 
graduate of Montwood High School was seriously wounded when a 
rocket was fired into a group of American soldiers; and
	WHEREAS, Though he lost a portion of his arm in the attack, 
Corpsman Ramos did not lose the passion and fortitude with which he 
served his country; after returning stateside, he took part in the 
ING New York City Marathon and earned the Avis "We Try Harder" award 
for perseverance in overcoming obstacles; and
	WHEREAS, Through his unfaltering devotion to duty, honor, and 
this nation, Jose Ramos embodies the highest ideals of the United 
States armed forces, and it is indeed a privilege to join in 
welcoming him home and recognizing his latest achievement; now, 
therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby honor Jose Ramos of El Paso for his service to 
his country and his indomitable spirit, and extend to him sincere 
best wishes for success and fulfillment in the years to come; and, 
be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Corpsman Ramos as an expression of high regard by the
