|
WHEREAS, Lieutenant Colonel William Brock of Dallas was |
|
awarded the Army Commendation Medal with Valor device for his |
|
crucial role in the life-saving surgery of a wounded soldier in |
|
March 2006; and |
|
WHEREAS, Stationed at Camp Aned on the border between |
|
Afghanistan and Pakistan, Lieutenant Colonel Brock served as a |
|
member of the 759th Medical Detachment, Forward Surgical Team |
|
(Airborne), Task Force Med; although every day brought its unique |
|
challenges, this day he was called on to perform an exceptionally |
|
dangerous task, when an unexploded rocket-propelled grenade was |
|
discovered in the stomach of a new patient; before Major John Oh, |
|
general surgeon, could perform surgery, the patient required |
|
intubation to receive necessary fluids, and this duty was assigned |
|
to Lieutenant Colonel Brock; wearing a body armor vest and a |
|
ballistic helmet over his scrubs, he successfully performed the |
|
operation, paving the way for the X-ray procedure and surgery that |
|
followed; and |
|
WHEREAS, Lieutenant Colonel Brock responded to a critical |
|
medical event with bravery, skill, and selfless dedication, and his |
|
actions are deserving of our deepest respect; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby commend Lieutenant Colonel William Brock for his |
|
significant contribution to the life-saving surgery of a wounded |
|
soldier and congratulate him on his receipt of the Army |
|
Commendation Medal with Valor device; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for Lieutenant Colonel Brock as an expression of high |
|
regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
