|
WHEREAS, Words cannot express the heartache felt at the loss |
|
of U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Julio C. Cisneros-Alvarez of Pharr, |
|
who died in Iraq on January 6, 2005, at the age of 22; and |
|
WHEREAS, Although he was mortally injured in an ambush in Al |
|
Anbar Province, Lance Corporal Cisneros-Alvarez acted in behalf of |
|
four fellow Marines, who were also wounded in the blast, and they |
|
credit his heroism for their survival; and |
|
WHEREAS, Lance Corporal Cisneros-Alvarez joined the military |
|
in the hopes of one day becoming a doctor; an ambitious and diligent |
|
young man, he trained in a variety of roles, including drill |
|
instructor, machine gunner, assault man, and nurse's assistant; and |
|
WHEREAS, Our state and nation are fortunate to have young men |
|
and women whose love of country leads them to military duty, and |
|
time can never diminish the profound debt that Americans owe to |
|
Julio Cisneros-Alvarez for the service he undertook and the |
|
sacrifice he rendered; the thoughts and prayers of many go out to |
|
the family of this beloved young man; he was a soldier of honor and |
|
valor, and those who were fortunate to share in the blessing of his |
|
life will forever carry him close in their hearts; now, therefore, |
|
be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby honor the memory of Lance Corporal Julio C. |
|
Cisneros-Alvarez and extend sincere sympathy to all those who mourn |
|
his passing; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of |
|
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Lance |
|
Corporal Julio C. Cisneros-Alvarez. |
